DK Eyewitness
"Managed by Marriott, this art-filled high-rise overlooks Hollywood and Highland."

Star Service
"Looking trendier than in the past, this is not a deluxe offering, though it offers solid standards all around; service is a strong point and staff are geared to upper-midrange business travelers." Full review
Gayot
