Los Angeles, CA |

Luna Tuna, Tuna Bug, and Littles. I'm really only called Luna when I'm in trouble or being formally introduced, otherwise it's nicknames all the time. |
| Favorites: |
I dig belly rubs, helping the Housekeeping department, hanging my head out of the car window (a funny sight with my ears), and of course naps—what girl doesn't love her beauty sleep? |

Balloons, vacuums, hair dryers, motorcycles, and buses |
| Favorite Hollywood Moment: |
My favorite movie is Lady and the Tramp and the spaghetti kiss scene. |
| Want to Shake Paws? |
Because our porte cochere can be busy with guests checking in, I work more often in the back office than out front. If you're interested in shaking paws, just ask for me and I'll come on out to say hello. |
| Favorite Food: |
Everything but dog food—yuck. And no, I'm not spoiled, just endearingly picky. |
| Favorite Hot Spot: |
Skybark is my favorite hot spot. Located in downtown LA, dogs make the scene especially fun and lively. |

Memorable Pet Guest Story
"A guest from Oregon was really missing her dog back home. She came down one evening to enjoy wine hour and was hoping to see dogs in the lobby. There are usually quite a few since Kimpton is so pet-friendly, but there were only humans. She mentioned how much she missed her dog to the manager hosting wine hour, so he brought me out to the lobby to give the guest a big, wet hello! The guest later commented how much that gesture had comforted her through the remainder of her trip. I loved meaning so much to one of our guests. It made her night, but it made mine as well."
