Partner Reviews: The Beverly Hilton
foursquareIDgreat city weekend getaway
I was surprised when I walked in at how big and beautiful it was and even more surprised when I got to the pool level. The pool is huge and there are more than enough lounge chairs unlike every other hotel I have stayed at in LA. Also cool at night you can get drinks at Trader Vics and they show old surfing movies on the side of the building! There was a gorgeous view from the room and a large balcony and everyone is so friendly!! Be sure to visit the spa, it's small but right next to the pool and has a great lounge and the services are very reasonably priced.
Avoid the Beverly Hilton
My expectations were not met. For all the hipe I got about the stars using this hotel I was disappointed in the hotel. Now granted, I know it's Beverly Hills, however, I still don't like to spend ridiculous amounts of money. First off there was no coffee maker in my room. The spa was really far from my room...I stayed in the standard room and had to walk by the main entrance, down the stairs, pass the restaurant and the lounge/bar and finally arrived. Now the spa...they screwed up my facial appointment..they said they only schedule one facial person at a time so you don't have the option of scheduling a facial together with a friend...I found that odd for such a large hotel. I did have a massage there and it was wonderful. Avoid the salon there unless you like are prepared to spend serious dollars...pedicure is $75 which I was unwilling to pay. The pros: the employees are extremely nice, the place is gorgeous, the C..55 restaurant had wonderful food, I had a leaky toilet which was fixed immediately. Tip: An alternative to ordering room service is to go down to the main level open lounge...they have a great menu, coffee and tea for reasonable prices...unlike room service prices.
