W HOLLYWOOD

charged 300€ in 6 months after checkout, scammers!

I had a bad parking experience. After years of going to the restaurant before shows at the Pantages, with validated parking the charge was $15. Indeed the sign at the parking booth, says the charge for day parking is $15. Today, Sunday, January 7, 2024, I was charge $30 and told by the attendant that the $15 charge only applies on certain days. I called the manager and he confirmed that the policy had changed. Our lunch today, for two people, was about $100 with tip. A 30% parking charge on top of that seems excessive for a 1 1/2 how stay. At any rate, I feel ripped off and wanted to let the world know.

The lunch was tasty, I must say. Cheers..............

Trendy hotel with a major noise problem.

One of the reasons I stay this hotel is its location in the center of Hollywood. The W is across the street from the Pantages Theater, next to a Metro station, with a Trader Joe's and a wide array of restaurants in walking distance. On a clear day and you can see all the way to downtown.

The hotel lobby has been undergoing renovations for nearly a year now and they have temporarily located the front desk on the 12th floor where the swimming pool is also located.

Along with a well equipped gym, in-room dining, and a friendly staff, the W has everything a traveler needs.

The problem is, this hotel is very noisy.

The double-pane windows are woefully inadequate for keeping out the noise of Hollywood boulevard traffic, so all day and night you can hear the pedestrians, street sweepers, and hot rods driving up and down Hollywood Blvd.

The other noise comes from *inside* the hotel. Depending on what floor your room is on, you can hear the water pipes clang and bang all day and night. If you're on the 2nd floor, forget about having a quiet morning or peaceful night of sleep. Evidently the hotel management doesn't think it's important enough to insulate the pipes, so bring ear plugs.

I am a happy Bonvoy Platinum member and have spent $10,000+ at the W Hollywood over that past 3 years, but next time, I think I'll try another property.

Je n'y ai jamais séjourné mais j'y allais régulièrement pour bronzer au bord de la piscine du rooftop ! Vu imprenable sur les collines d'Hollywood et Downtown. En plus de ça, c'est gratuit
