This hotel is beautiful, CLEAN but VERY noisy with all the events hosted at it...noisy enough for them to supply ear plugs in the guest rooms. We chose this hotel because of its proximity to the business I needed to attend and unfortunately we were not the demographic for this location. This beautiful hotel seems to cater to the younger hip crowd who enjoy loud music at night. There were several special events hosted at the hotel each night and one night these caused large sections of the upstairs including the entire dining area and part of the bar to be closed to hotel guests. We tried to eat downstairs at ALK but couldn't hear each other to talk over the DJ who was playing. We ended up going off site . On the way back you could literally hear the music from the downstairs area two blocks away. Front desk was not particularly friendly but the bar/restaurant/valet staff were awesome. Breakfast was very tasty. The French Toast was incredible.
Basically this hotel was just wrong for us. This place is very HIP and very Hollywood and will work for those who enjoy this sort of energy. Unfortunately we are not well suited for this space.
I Hope this helps.
