Petit Ermitage

The vibe, the staff, the food, the roof

The toilet kept flushing randomly throughout the day/ night

We liked the style and size of our suite. The bedding and comfort of the bed were also very good. The valet staff were excellent. And the hotel staff and waiters were all really positive and welcoming.

The ambience is as you would expect slightly bohemian. Parties held on the roof terrace both Friday and Saturday night made it very busy. We reserved a pool bed and a customers dog was jumping all over the beds for the afternoon, which got tiring after the initial laughs wore off. The dog then began humping the hotel towels and fur blankets. The owner was too high to really care and the staff did not seem to intervene at any point. The dog eventually ejaculated over one of the fur blankets at which point we promptly headed back to our room. On the Saturday night the roof terrace party continued into the early hours and some guests in the room next to ours managed to play music and open and close their door every ten minutes till 6am in the morning. Which was not good. We mentioned this on check out the next morning and the receptionist just said "ah, the freaks come out to play, just ask to move rooms next time...." which summed the place up to be fair. A bit of decadence and fun is to be expected at a destination like this, but ALL guests in hotels need to be able to sleep and feel welcome. This place only seemed to accommodate those Hollywood "Freaks". I make no judgement on those people they are more than entitled to do as they wish, in hindsight this was not the right hotel for my wife and I to relax and chill for a weekend in LA.

Relaxed and comfortable
