Great location, so close to the Grove and easy access by Uber to anywhere in LA. The Robin rooms were super spacious and stylish and comfortable. Beds were great, bathroom facilities were nice, modern. Everything was really clean. Loved the tablet device in the room for ordering room service/setting alarms etc. We travelled for business and it had everything we needed.

The location and Tart (restaurant connected to the hotel) were excellent.
