I recently stayed at The Chateau Marmont for a long weekend for business in LA. I have to say that of all the over-hyped places in LA, this is definitely the worst.
So here we were at the famous Chateau Marmont, having paid an addition to our already high room charge for the weekend of the Golden Globes (as well as a 3 night minimum) and we had to either stay in our room or leave the premises.
My wife and I used to travel from San Francisco to LA several times a year and would always stay at the Chateau Marmont- it is one of the classiest, mellowest places in LA. It is the polar opposite of the Mondrian, with all it's wannabee actor bellhops and their lame all-white rooms.
