Kimpton Everly Hotel (Hollywood, CA)
Kimpton Everly Hotel (Hollywood, CA)
What is your Rewards Club status? Spire Elite, Ambassador, and Inner Circle
Were you (or for multi-stayers are you generally) happy with the hotel/stay? Yes (I made it a point to stay here over the other Kimptons in Los Angeles)
Which room did you book and which upgrade did you receive? Points award stay for Spa King; upgraded to an Everly Suite on the 14th Floor.
How are the rooms? An Everly Suite is on the corner of the hotel facing the 101 with great views of the Hollywood sign and the Griffiths Park Observatory. Suite is very spacious with a large soaking tub and shower area.
[if you are Spire]
How was your complimentary welcome amenity? I didn't make a request in advance. Received two bottles of water, two bottles of Diet Coke, a fruit, cheese, and deli plate, cookies, and a mini bottle of red wine.
Did you raid the minibar? If so, what did you take? $11 locally-made chocolate bar for my wife at home.
Were you offered a Chef's Taste at Dinner, If so, what did you receive? N/A
Did you use the free spa credit / did the hotel participate? If so, was it a good value? N/A
What was good and what was bad? Friendly staff who welcomed me back as a returning guest, great upgrade for a points stay. Somewhat congested valet parking area.
Value for $ or Priority Club Points? Would you return? The LaPeer might be nicer overall, but I love the location of The Everly and proximity to the 101.
