"So, can you describe this place for us?Mr. C is in a big high rise building on the edge of Beverly Hills, with a grand entrance. Check-in was a breeze, and we were greeted with signature Mr. C bellinis and a virgin bellini for our son. Our room was easy to access, and the tech inside was fairly manageable. Great. Who else is likely to be staying here?You'll see people in business attire, plus a Euro crowd. Got it. Now onto the good stuff: Tell us about your room.We were in a classic suite—it had a lovely dark wood bar and twin balconies. The decor is slick, warm, rich, and luxe: Think red leather sofas, dark oak floors, and chrome fixtures, with all-marble bathrooms. Was there anything that made your stay more comfortable? Maybe a well-stocked minibar, or shower goodies?Complimentary water was a plus. There was also a nice gourmet minibar and snack options, plus free (and pretty fast) wifi. Cool. How about room service and the dining options in general: Worth it?The food was okay. I was expecting better quality, since it's a Cipriani restaurant, but in-room dining was mediocre. Coffee set up in the bar area is nice for business trips and people on the go. How about the staff? Did anyone really impress you, and if so, why?Manager Emily Efraimov was quite attentive and accommodating. We were warmly greeted and welcomed with chocolate cake and fresh fruit in our room. A big glass of cold milk for our son, too! Very thoughtful. Indeed! Any other services or features you'd like to shout out, while you're at it?The pool area was nice: Lovely and intimate, without the big crowds or scene. It's a great place for a poolside cocktail or a bowl of fries. Perfect. So, bottom line: worth a stay, and why?Yes. It's not the most amazing hotel, but for the location in Beverly Hills and the price point, it's a pretty reliable spot for a short stay. Double balconies were also a very nice addition to the spacious suite, along with the killer quintessential L.A. views." - Michael Shome
