Le Merigot, A JW Marriott Beach Hotel & Spa

The Scene
For lodging in style with ocean views, this is the place to be. This luxury waterfront property offers a subdued contemporary style and a lovely spa designed to lure those who put pampering high on their list of priorities. The comfortable lobby is done in warm Mediterranean colors, and the multilevel pool area is graced with waterfalls.

The Details
Accommodations indulge guests with "Cloud Nine Beds" (Frette linens, down duvets and feather pillows), as well as plush, oversized upholstered chairs and couches and marble baths. Insist on a room with an ocean view and large patio. After a day at the beach, pool or spa, cruise to nearby Marina del Rey for a stroll or shopping at the Third Street Promenade.

Disappointingly rude

I would never return to this hotel. While the rooms are appropriately clean and decorated for the price that you pay, several other nearby hotels: Shutters and Casa del Mar are superior in service. Several members of my family including my parents stayed at Le Merigot for the weekend of my wedding. My family found that it paid over $2500 to be openly insulted and mocked by the staff. Our family had requested early check-in for the four rooms but had not received it. The hotel offered to hold their luggage for the two hours before check-in while my family attended the Wedding Rehearsal next door. When my family arrived back one hour before check-in, they found their luggage sitting out without anyone watching it. My parents found that they were able to stroll right up to the luggage and take it without anyone noticing. My parents are also in the hospitality business and own a small establishment of their own. This is more or less what they do with the luggage of guests who have not paid for their rooms. My parents were both horrified and greatly insulted. They could not understand why anyone would leave their tux and dress for tomorrow’s wedding out without first calling and notifying them. When my family complained to the staff, the staff was openly disrespectful and mocked my parents for even feeling insulted. Though this may be hotel policy, someone should have apologized to my family for the insult that was inadvertently given. A hotel must have basic respect and consideration its guests’ feelings. This hotel is likely acceptable on most occasions; however, for the most important occasions, I would avoid this hotel. The rooms are average and clean given its cost and the location fine but not the best. There are hotels even closer to the beach at similar prices. Our guests and family who stayed at Shutters and Casa del Mar were thoroughly satisfied with their stays and would return again, which is more than I can say for Le Merigot.

Pros: clean, spacious rooms, located near the beach

Cons: not as stylish as nearby hotels, staff members will openly insult and mock you if they feel that your expectations are too high
