Fun stuff! I miss LA.
There are so many GREAT hotels in this region I know you had quite a job narrowing it down to these few. I never heard of the Cadillac but I am so checking it out during our next visit to Cali.
Looks like a fun trip! I love being able to see pics of hotels from people that actually stayed in rooms at the hotels.
