If you're looking for a change from the monolithic chain hotels with impersonal service, this is a place for you to check out. Everything is very classic, yet homey and modern (did you get that?). In other words, a perfect mix. You are treated very well here regardless of who you are (and we live in Los Angeles) and feel as if you are coming home every time you return from an outing. Given the fact that we are not celebrities in anyway, that is a great feeling. If you want to feel like Julia Roberts and Richard Gere, you could do a lot worse than staying here. And you simply cannot leave without having drinks by the pool at night at least once.
