Review of Luxe Hotel Sunset Boulevard

This was my second time staying here, first time was in 2011. First thing I can say, is they were as nice this time as the last, so consistent. The hotel is actually a great deal overall in my opinion. Its modern, elegant, nicely designed and maintained, everything is luxury here. Yet the actual cost per night os very reasonable, only a bit higher than the meh hotels right next to the airport. Except the luxe is situation partially up a hill, off sunset blvd, with the Getty museum right above it. Great views of the entire city, and coast, esp if you get a room in their upper level building. The rooms are spacious, clean, comfy, and have all the standard amenities you would expect. One nice touch is they give you a tablet in each room where you can order room service, cleaning, have the car be pulled up, etc. Speaking of car, some downsides are the fact you have to pay the 20-30 dollar a night valet fee, plus tips of course. Same thing with their restaurant, you can expect to pay maybe twice as much for good quality, but definitely not for those prices. I would suggest go out in the local neighborhoods for some much better and lower cost food. Aside from those two things, staying here is like living that LA chic dream up on a hill off sunset, without costing an arm and a leg.
