10/10 Exceptional

Great hotel, good location if you want to be near the shops at The Grove but far enough away from Hollywood etc. Made our honeymoon extra special even just while staying there for a couple of nights before flying to Hawaii.

10/10 Exceptional

What a perfect spot for a quick trip! The rooms are clean and well decorated, staff are lovely and the location is just a short walk to the Fairfax Farmers market where you find the a great selection of restaurants and market foods. Also walking distance to the Grove if you like outdoor malls. I would stay here again in a heartbeat.
Nicola, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Best location in West Hollywood

We had problems on 2 consecutive days with the safe in our room which was not functioning. Had to wait some time both mornings till an engineer came to fix since all our stuff was inside. We were not compensated, which would have been a nice gesture. All receptionists were a bit grumpy and not really focussed on giving the best service possible with a smile. Food at the bar was excellent. Overall we enjoyed SS hotel, the location was perfect.
