## Where am I?

I am currently at the [Andaz West Hollywood Hotel](https://westhollywood.andaz.hyatt.com/en/hotel/home.html?ref=codetraveler.io) just outside of Los Angeles, California. I'm in town volunteering at [Athena Hacks 2018](http://athenahacks.com/?ref=codetraveler.io).

Athena Hacks is an incredible hackathon hosted by the University of Southern California! It is an all-female hackathon whose mission is to support and nurture women in tech (trans and non-binary inclusive).

## How's the Internet Speed?

## ⭐️️️️️️️

I'm incredibly disapointed in the internet speed: it is throttled to 5Mbps. It also seems that my throttled connection is shared between my iPhone and my Mac. Call me crazy, but when I start streaming audio/video on my Mac, the internet speed on my iPhone grinds to a halt. Very strange.

## How's the Internet Reliability?

## ⭐️

Also disapointing. There are deadspots in the hotel room where the WiFi is noticiably slower, and the internet connection has dropped more than a few times.

## How's the Comfort?

## ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

This hotel room is insanely nice! The front desk upgraded me to a corner suite which is about 3 times bigger than my apartment at home! (Mind you, I live in a 500 sq.ft. studio apartment in SF).

There's a sunroom with lounge chairs and floor-to-ceiling windows that overlooks the city of LA; a separate living room with couches, a TV and a 6-person dinner table; a bedroom the size of my apartment with a cozy king-sized bed; and a bathroom with two sinks, a waterfall shower, and a separate jacuzzi bathtub.

As I type this, I am lounging in the sunroom, enjoying the view, wearing a fancy hotel robe, and enjoying free snacks and soda from the mini fridge.

I could get used to this life!

## How's the Noise?

## ⭐️⭐️⭐️

The noise from traffic outside is noticable. It's not super loud, but it can be distracting.

## General Ambiance ️

## ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

The hotel has very chic decor with a retro-hollywood vibe. I'm a big fan.

## Overall Score: ️

## ⭐️⭐️⭐️

This hotel room is incredibly luxurious, however, the WiFi leaves a lot to be desired.

While I would 10/10 stay in this hotel again, it's not a great spot to get work done.

So if you are looking for a place to unplug and relax, check out the Andaz West Hollywood! You won't regret it!
