The Grafton on Sunset

Recent guests offered mixed reviews for The Grafton on Sunset. Travelers raved about the iconic location, smack dab in the middle of the Sunset Strip, and the friendly, attentive staff. Reviewers also praised the outdoor saltwater pool and the complimentary shuttle, which can transport guests within a 3-mile radius of the hotel. But lodgers were more divided on the rooms, which were renovated in 2015: some liked the decor (a combination of leather and metal finishes with red accents), while others couldn't get past the small size of the bathroom and the pricey room rates. Aside from decorative touches, each room comes equipped with a 37-inch HDTV, complimentary Wi-Fi access and a minifridge, among other amenities. The same color scheme continues throughout The Grafton, including in its on-site steakhouse and bar. Past guests were complimentary of the restaurant, but also suggested exploring off the property as the hotel is within easy reach of some tasty West Hollywood eateries. But even with its enviable location, some reviewers were unsure about making a repeat visit for the parking fee alone: the hotel charges $40 a night for its valet-only service.
