Top California Science Center Hotel Reviews

Freehand Los Angeles

10/10 Excellent

"Clean room and very spacious for a couple."

AC Hotel Downtown Los Angeles, a Marriott Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"My husband and I enjoyed our one day stay to attend a concert in the downtown area. The staff from Valet attendants to front desk, and even maintenance were personable and polite.The property is fun to explore before restaurants open, but do learn the hours of operation for the bars/restaurants/pool (most are not open during certain hours). We planned on eating at the property after the concert and learned kitchens close at 10pm and Bar at 11pm."
