i have always liked the sofitel brand. it might have something to do with their chic lobbies and good but non-intrusive service. the location of this particular hotel also cannot be beat. that said, i found the room that i had to be a bit musty and dusty.. it felt a bit like someone had not cleaned it for a while.. or it hadn't been used in a bit. so for that, i feel that it did not meet my expectations of a sofitel hotel.

The Sofitel LA has once again proven to be the top hotel in Los Angeles with my recent stay, with their superior service and well appointed Hills-view suite. I escaped to LA during the week of my 50th birthday and the staff and setting made the harsh reality so much more enjoyable--especially the Concierge desk (Megan) who went above & beyond. One slight wrinkle, Simon LA recently, as in 12/1/12, has changed to a more formal, but equally quality restaurant. Thank you Sofitel LA, my favorite LA home away from home!

The comfiest bed we have slept on, friendly Belgian staff, great gym with some good free weights and machines. Staff know the best local brunch. Stylishly decorated lobby, only minor down is valet parking is $33. Oh and there was free apple cider!

Great location, and great staff we have always loved sofitel room was clean and staff were great slight issues with room but was quickly mended loved it so super close by to everything bar staff need training on service a bit of a let down
