Fodor's Review:

Hotelier André Balazs created this cheap-and-chic Sunset Strip hotel out of a former retirement home. The aesthetic is '70s kitsch: pop art, shag carpets and ultrasuede sectionals fill the lobby, while the rooms have inflatable sofas, beanbag chairs, surfboard tables, and Warhol poppy-print curtains. DJs spin nightly and lobby socializing begins at the front desk and extends to the blue AstroTurfed pool deck outside. Especially on weekends and holidays, expect a young party scene that can drift noisily into the halls. The 24-hour coffee shop is quite good, more modern classic than greasy spoon.

If you want to be treated badly....

...then stay at the standard. The rooms are like dorm rooms. The service is the worst I have ever had anywhere. The atmosphere is ok. Don't ask for anything to be brought to your room unless you want to call them 3 times to get it and you might not get it anyway. If you decide you can't take it anymore and want to change hotels...they could care less. I guess the only good thing is they don't charge you anything for checking out early!
