First, the good. The food is extraordinary. Both the quality of the meals and the service is a cut above, whether through room service or the lovely restaurant. Very well done. The bed was a feather soft bed; If that's your preference you'll be delighted. The common areas can be very nice. The facility, however, needs freshening. Old tube-type TVs... more

We always select hotels that are located in residential areas, away from the glitzy and often tacky areas that attract eager tourists. We prefer a quiet and elegant place to stay when we travel, especially when we are in large cities. The Sunset Marquis is one of those unique hotels and we recommend it highly. The suites are comfortable, well... more

We live in Hermosa Beach and our family did a mini family reunion at the Hotel. I had so much fun just hanging out in our BEAUTIFUL villa, lying around by the pool, and eating delicious gourmet food (in the room and at the restaurant!). Something that I really did appreciate about the hotel was the fact that I felt... more

We have stayed at this hotel on a number of occasions and I have to say it is one of my favourite hotels in the world, particularly now the hotel has been extended to incorporate the new villas. The staff are extremely friendly and helpful, whilst striking that all important balance between being available when needed but respecting your privacy... more

The reservationist handled my last-minute reservation very nicely. The valet and front desk staff were very nice about my showing up three hours before check-in. Room wasn't ready yet, but they happily stored our luggage while we went to the restaurant for a nice lunch. Restaurant was very comfortable and relaxing--the setting and gardens are really pretty and the service... more

We stayed at the Sunset Marquis July 17-19. From the moment we arrived we knew we had selected the best hotel! We have stayed in many 5 star and 4 star hotels and this by far was one of the best. It was classy without being snobbish, it was laid back but trendy and the staff no matter what position... more

Based on stays at similar hotels nearby (such as the Standard), I was expecting lots of glamor, lots of hip decor, and attitude off the charts. I was surprised to find the staff as helpful and friendly as the property and rooms were beautiful. I have to admit I was a little shocked at first---aren't we in West Hollywood?---but in... more

I'm very surprised by some of the rave reviews unless perhaps they stayed in the new construciton villas. From the moment you step through the door (and by the way although there is an employee at the front door he failed to acknowledge my hello as I entered), you feel the atmosphere of a motel. Lobby is non-existent. In fact... more

If at all possible, try to stay in a villa, well worth the money in my opinion. The surrounding gardens are a nice relaxing retreat and there is plenty of room to relax or whatever else you're into. The concierge was absolutely fantastic, the room service person was exceptional, and the even the guy at the front door was a... more
