If you're doing business in the west San Fernando Valley, this location at the center of the congested Warner Center business hub is hopping weekdays. The giant Topanga Westfield Mall (and multiplex) is within sight; franchise restaurants offer alternatives to the hotel's fare. A complimentary shuttle will drive you within a 3-mi radius. Comfortable guest rooms, with a touch of Mediterranean style, have armoires, marble-tile bathrooms, and large work desks. Across the driveway is a full-service health club, use of their pool is available free to hotel guests. Pros: business-centric weekdays, decent on-site fitness room, numerous nearby restaurants and shopping. Cons: deserted most weekends (cheaper stays), pool next door, uninspired decor in public areas.
