"The epitome of swish sophistication... Pricey, ultra-cool and almost disarmingly self-aware."
Michelin Guide Michelin Guide
"Irreverent, unexpected, and surreal, its mind-bending and modern design is a little bit Alice in Wonderland and a whole lot of cool."
Frommer's Frommer's
"Young trendsetters now flock here for overpriced monochrome lavender streamlined rooms with often-minuscule bathrooms, glamorous atmosphere, and a heavy dose of attitude." Full review
Fodor's Fodor's
"The entrance is so nondescript here, you could walk right past it without a hint of what's inside, and that's exactly how the clientle—a mix of hipsters, music-industry types, and celebrities—like it." Full review

Some visitors have remarked on the thin walls and advise booking a room on an upper-level floor to avoid street noise.

Time Out Time Out
"Essentially, California's version of an English B&B, and how you just reacted to that sentence will be pretty much how you react to the inn itself." Full review
