Everything great but bright rooms while sleeping

Staff was amazing, breakfast was fun with the pancake machine but nothing special. Rooms were great and location as well. The problem was that the balcony outside our room on the 4th floor was lit all night, and the plantation shutters weren’t effective. The room was still very brightly lit and made it hard to sleep. Also the price was super high for what we got but that’s LA
