Review of The Beverly Hilton

Oops I did it again. I really used to love the Beverly Hilton. When we started our US entity, we had our office on 600 Century Park East, so I lived there for months - and really loved it.

Sadly, the love faded - as did the hotel. Currently, I have one of my clients - a famous German popstar, who still loves it there - and they had me for breakfast. I still fail to understand how they get away with this really mediocre food at such prices and their - let's say it politely - rather unattentive service (unless you have the pleasure to be served by - I believe Rosa is her name - who has been there forever and is a real wonderful person. Sadly, we did not have the pleasure this time.

Did they exceed my expectations: sadly not.
Would I go again (for breakfast): sorry no.
Would I even take a 30+ detour to go? Hell no ;-)

The pool setting is amazing, which avoided one star.

Again, this is my breakfast experience - any Norms, Denny or ihop would do better than that - at a fraction of the price.
