I was attending a conference at the nearby and very swanky Hilton.

I really don't get the "cachet" of the place. I know they have "bungalows" that are supposed to be the "ne plus ultra" of Hollywood extravagance, but that is not evidenced at all by their regular rooms. The bar is dank and small as well.
