The London West Hollywood is an all-suite, five-star hotel with rooftop pool, breakfast included, and posh design - and it's more affordable than you'd think

The bathroom felt downright spa-like, with plush robes, two shower heads (yes, even in the entry-level suites), and deep soaking tubs. In fact, the tub was actually too big to get comfortable. It was so long that I couldn't brace myself against the ends and felt like I might float away.

The Crown suite worked great for the two of us as it was open enough to watch the sunrise from bed. But it would not have been my preference had we been with our kids. That's when we are willing to sacrifice square footage and spend extra for a suite that comes with a partition, so we can close a door after putting them to bed.
