Sunset Tower: "Half-Baked"

Where: 8358 Sunset Boulevard [map], West Hollywood, CA, United States, 90069

Just when we though the Sunset Tower Hotel in Los Angeles was making its way new information comes in courtesy of the New York Times.

In the paper's Check-in, Check-Out review, they notice the rooms lack a little bit of logic:

Even though the décor is understated and refined -- polished dark wood set off by brass, peach and silver linens, silk-covered lamps, and framed stills from classic movies on the walls -- why is the desk placed directly in front of the flat-screen television -- and why is there no desk chair?  The glass-fronted shower would be a winner -- with its rainshower head and bench -- if the water had warmed beyond tepid. The minibar is stocked with top-shelf liquor and one lonely Snickers bar.

The room service also left a bad taste in the reporter's mouth because a bowl of oatmeal cost 16 bucks, along with 15 percent added gratuity and a $2.50 room service charge.

On the bright side, the pool has now opened and don't forget about the cozy rabbit warrens of the hotel's Argyle Spa.
