I joined my husband on a six night stay at the Mosaic. I chose this hotel by all the wonderful reviews. Our last stay was at the Beverly Hills Hotel, which is OVER THE TOP. For this trip we didn't want to spend that much per night, so we were searching for something wonderful under $300/night.
I am very resourseful and found that the majority of reviews for this hotel were outstanding, so I went with my gut.
We were very very pleased with the hotel. It is small, boutique'ish and intimate. The linens were Frette, and the soaps were delicious. Being that I wasn't feeling well and was bed-ridden, I had to stay in the room for 2 days. Wanting fresh air during the day, I attempted to keep the windows opened. I was so disapointed that the noise was SO HORRIFIC from the street, that I was forced to keep the air on and the windows closed. When asked if I can move my room to a "inside" room, it meant that I would have to pack everything, leave the room by 11am, then get access to my new room after 3pm. That wasn't convient at all for me and there seemed like no other solution. I was not happy with the noise level, actually VERY unhappy wanting fresh CA air. Other then that, the hotel was very much up-to-par, clean, and attentive. I would definitly come back, however, with a room with a view of the pool.
