LOS ANGELES | HOTEL REVIEW
How it rates: * *
New and noteworthy: The first of three extended-stay Los Angeles-area hotels blends boutique hotel attitude with condo/studio layout in 36 units.
The stay: Make yourself at home in cool digs, or make a meal in the designer kitchenette, but expect to clean up. Maids come only twice a week.
The scene: Crash pad for creative types attracts fellow artists who linger in the lobby's living-room-like lounge or the Hall, the French brasserie.
Deal maker: Upscale digs, great restaurant and easy walking neighborhood.
Deal breaker: For leisure travelers, lack of hotel services is a big bummer.
Stats: 8465 Holloway Drive, West Hollywood; (323) 656-4100, www.palihouse.com.
Rooms: Weekly rates begin at $325 a night.
Rating is based on the room, service, ambience and overall experience with price taken into account in relation to quality.
