There are places on the internet where you need to worry about misinformation, but the reviews we read that led us to pick the Drisco for our anniversary getaway were spot on. We loved everything about this beautiful boutique hotel, from location to accommodations to the wonderful breakfasts to the wine and appetizers in the evening and the extraordinary staff. Mina, at the front desk, could not have been more warm, welcoming and helpful. Her restaurant suggestions were terrific, and the birthday surprise for my wife she arranged to have in our room was perfect. She seemed to take as much pleasure in our reaction to the hotel as we did, but really, we could extend the compliment to the entire staff. Everyone we dealt with greeted us with a smile. That, of course, is something that most staffs are trained to do. But it felt like the entire team took a genuine pride in the hotel, and the service reflected that pride." Our room was spacious and beautifully appointed, with a panoramic city view. The fitness center, while compact, was well equipped, and I might have actually used it if I didn't feel like I'd gotten enough of a workout walking up and down the streets of the gorgeous area in which the Heights is located. The evening wine reception was one of the best we've sampled, with an excellent choice of wines and some delicious appetizers. If we could have packed some of that guacamole for the car ride back to Los Angeles, that would have been nice. A few Swedish meatballs would have been good, too! Breakfast was another treat. The omelets were perfect every day. The berries were ripe, the smoothie was delicious and the coffee was great. Our only complaint was that we couldn't stay another day or two. We've been lucky enough to share 44 anniversaries, and this is one of our top five!
