A few years (2019) ago I had Rhinoplasty surgery done to fix a deviated septum done by a surgeon in Beverly Hills. Coming from the east coast they suggested the SLS for a week long recovery. My procedure was relatively minor and didn't require any medical attention on a nightly basis but many other patients do. Having the nurses immediately available was a huge perk, and part of the reason to get the surgery there. And I was still able to earn more points on my stay. As an individual this is 10000000% better than stay at a hospital, which is more expensive and also takes beds away during a pandemic that could be used for contagious and life threatening situations.
Personally I'd like to see this option in more out patient procedures.
A quick glance of the internet reveals multiple companies that provide recovery services at SLS Beverly Hills.

When you should really be alarmed is when the heart rate monitor is doing a continuous beep.
My wife stayed here for two nights earlier this year to recover from a procedure. Fantastic experience, great care, far far better than a hospital. About 2-3x the normal room rate, but she had 24/7 care (by the most professional and caring nurses I’ve ever met), tasty custom meals, etc. one of the rooms was used as a base for the nurses and the chef. Highly recommended for aftercare. And you pay $$$ for it - but tiny compared to what pay for elective surgery in Beverly Hills..!! 🙂 Happy wife, happy…
My wife was on a floor that seemed to be used exclusively for this purpose, so I found it odd that your post mentioned a real guest staying near the recovery rooms. Maybe as hotels have started to fill up again commingling has become necessary? It would be odd to have the 24/7 medical care noise (etc) near traditional guests.
This person is alarmed by sharing the same linens and towels with them? Are you joking? That's what hotels are lmao. This person obviously has no idea what happens in hotel rooms and how disgusting everyday people are.
I have thought of making getting LASIK a holiday by staying at the Beverly Wilshire during my recovery time.
A Marriott Ambassador pretending to be oblivious to the normal history of linens LOL. Just an attempt to increase compensation (which is probably due for the other reasons).
Who freaking cares?
Also, that's a nice hotel. It's a nice place to stay when seeing concerts at the Wiltern
"It wasn’t just one, but multiple plastic surgery recovery patients on the floor in the rooms next to us and we were sharing the same linens, towels, etc. "
The "Reddit" poster, despite having had time to think, didn't consider that the patients in the hotel room that were recovering from surgery were not using the rooms as an infectious disease ward nor would they have had post surgery complications such as infection. They were there for rest and recovery and observation.
Well, yeah, first off, no issue with the linens because I would hope and expect that same high standards hospitals use would be followed by high level hotels. As someone who had her first unexpected hospital inpatient and rehab experience about a year ago, if I were being exposed to monitor sounds and equipment and uniformed medical staff, it would have been immensely stressful, a little PTSD for me....HOWEVER, I would hope insurance, since the equipment and staff were present WOULD cover such care as it would be less than a damn hospital room where germs are floating around anyhow. And I can tell you for sure, I would have DEARLY loved to be in a hotel over the hospital and rehab facility (which had cereal but no milk and served me a cold grilled cheese every other meal because I did not eat pork or red meat). A hotel would have no doubt allowed me to have visitors instead of coping with covid guidelines that were very traumatic from an emotional standpoint, feeling isolated, alone. IN fact, my pup could have come to stay with me if it were a pet friendly hotel and probably the activity of my getting her outside and back would have given me better PT than what I got. Not to mention the benefits of good nutritious food. It seems it would be good for the patient and the hotel business. I drove by our local Aloft the other day and noticed a sign out front with the logo of a local hospital system and the term "sleep clinic".
"we were sharing the same linens, towels, etc. with them at this hotel"
Who wants to tell them?
I believe this property has offered cosmetic surgery recovery services for years, back to the days when it was a Le Meridien.
