After a lot of searching we finally found support online, left messages at an unattended mailbox and sat for 2 hours in front of the building after having been on the road for 6+ hours. We finally were able to get someone to chat with us online and give us a code to enter. Our clean...

Top Los Angeles Hotel Reviews

The Westin Bonaventure Hotel and Suites, Los Angeles

The Westin Bonaventure Hotel and Suites, Los Angeles

8/10 Good
"The Westin Bonaventure is very clean, staff is friendly and helpful. The cleaning staff on my floor were particularly friendly and kind. I utilized the Desuan Spa inside the hotel - not owned or run by the hotel - and it left a bit to be desired. It was clearly worn out and the staff was not very friendly. Given the cost and location inside the hotel, I expected more. The HOTEL itself is a little dated, but VERY CLEAN."
