Finding a place to stay in Los Angeles can be an
intimidating task. The city's reputation for danger leaves more riding on the task than cared for. Finding the desired areas of the city is the first task. Finding one that doesn't require a movie star budget is even harder. Grafton on Sunset fit the bill.
This newly renovated four story hotel, formerly
known as the Park Sunset Hotel is nestled between some of the nicest hotels on the Sunset Strip. It's easy to miss when you drive by, taking up very little space along the boulevard, but it's bigger than it looks with 108 guest rooms situated 4-stories up around a Mediterranean-style pool. The best views are of the pool for about $20 extra. Our first floor room had us pool side the moment we opened our door.
I especially like Grafton's safe location with the
House of Blues and Comedy Store just a couple of minutes away on foot. On site is the very trendy Boa Steak House & Lounge which also caters to room service. I was anxious to check the place out, but the night was cut short with my friend not feeling well. I hardly felt bad though tucked into my bed with a plate of crab legs with clarified butter, foie gras and a cheesy bowl of macaroni.
Our room #112 was $210 on a Saturday night in
October. Don't forget the parking which is a whopping $24 per night.
Grafton on Sunset was more than I expected for it's
location and price. It has everything you need to just disappear for a while!
