Domaine Chardonnay

Valle De Los Caballos

10/10 Excellent

Fabulous experience! This is a stunning place. A delight for the senses (the architecture of the property, the beautiful landscaping, detailed room finishes with coordinated color pallets, natural surroundings of the winery, and the tasty breakfasts and wine varieties). A very quiet and peaceful place. I like that the onsite tasting room is private to guests. We indulged ourselves with a couples room massage to add to our experience. The staff is friendly, responsive, and professional. We...

Simpson House Inn

Upper East

10/10 Excellent

From the time we arrived and were greeted by Katy to the time we left three days later we were treated royally. The B&B is so charming and the grounds are park-like. We stayed in the Sun Room and although small inside, the private deck is amazing! The bed was like sleeping on a cloud. The breakfasts served on our deck were delicious and served graciously. The location is so convenient for walking around downtown but we enjoyed the atmosphere at the Simpson House so much that we hung out...

Hotel Bel-Air - Dorchester Collection

Bel Air

10/10 Excellent

Our second visit was flawless (I said in my last review that this was a place you'd want to come back to again and I meant it). The HBA doesn't rely on flash and superficial luxury to impress. Superb comfort, attention to detail, and quality of service is what sets it apart. The staff is truly the best I've seen in all my travels and you can feel they enjoy and have a genuine pride in managing their guests. Even though it's exactly what we came for, still amazed again by how private the property...

Four Seasons Hotel Los Angeles at Westlake Village

Thousand Oaks

10/10 Excellent

From the moment we arrived bedraggled & exhausted after being mandatory evacuated from the beastly Thomas fire, we felt like the Four Seasons understood our plight & did everything in their power to relax us and provide a comfortable oasis. Although stressed our home wouldn’t make it, we were looked after like royalty. The hotel lobby was beautifully festive, the rose gardens delightful and the room comfortable. Staff were super sweet to our bearded collie, and many other evacuated...

The Peninsula Beverly Hills

South of Wilshire

10/10 Excellent

I put my parents here as it is close to my apartment. They loved it! The staff was wonderful and tended to their every whim. The room was beautiful, quiet and clean. Every request was answered with a smile and the complimentary car service was fantastic as they are elderly and like "knowing" the driver. They use to stay at the L'ermitage but are now going to stay at the Peninsula for life! Thank you to the staff!

Montage Laguna Beach

South Laguna

10/10 Excellent

Beautiful location. A little busy though. There were two weddings and a huge baby shower the weekend we were there. We had a ground level suite with a patio and we felt like we were in a fishbowl because the events were right off of our patio. Most of the staff were phenomenal and exceptionally good at their jobs. A few of the staff were a little clueless and contradicted their exceptional colleagues. The food was really exceptional. Perhaps the best resort food I have ever experienced.
