I stayed here for two nights for a business conference being held at the hotel. This is a very nice place. The lobby area is busy with people who congregate in the lounge...keep your eyes peeled, you might just spot a celebrity who is downtown for an event at the Staples Center (my colleague saw Patrick Dempsey right before the...

Stayed here for five days. Rooms were decent size and clean. Nice location on LA live property. Great lobby amenities. Staying here again next November. More

Just stayed for a 1,400 person convention and WOW did they do an awesome job! Gorgeous hotel--very modern and flashy decor with warm and glitzy colors. Staff very polished and professional--Auriela at the front desk accomodated our request for an upgrade as a Gold Marriott memeber since hotel was sold out--great room--thanks a ton! Food was excellent and Ballroom video... More

JW Marriott LA Live is big. Hand written notes might mean something in a B&B, but not a hotel this size. The valet entrance is on Olympic. As of May 2012, valet parking is $40/day with a discount for alternative fuel vehicles. Location is central to the Staples Center. The fitness center gets crowded in the afternoons. The central atrium... More

I really enjoyed my visit to the JW Marriott at L.A. Live. I booked a junior suite and it was huge! The only complaint about the room is the shower did not have a tub--but it was a lovely bathroom. I had a massage at the spa--actually at the Ritz Carlton that is connected to the JW. The service was... More

I stayed for five nights in April, in Room 874. I was attending an event at the Convention Center and this location was far superior to other downtown hotels. I checked in around 3 pm on a Friday; there was a short line but also plenty of desk staff. The room was still in new hotel condition, and faced toward... More

I dislike giving glowing reviews. While I always try to emphasize the positive, I can almost always find something a hotel can improve. With the JW Marriott at L.A. Live, it's honestly a stretch. They did almost everything perfectly. The rooms were spacious and well appointed. The bed was so comfortable I considered trying to wedge the mattress into my... More

It's a nice hotel in an area with a lot of buzz. OK, that's really about all. Frankly, I was disappointed in the experience, as this feels like a really big Courtyard which has been labeled a JW Marriott. The rooms are nothing special, and certainly are consistent with the new upgraded Courtyard product. Bath amenities were pretty standard as... More

.Restaurants and entertainment are only steps away for the hotel. If you need to stay in downtown LA this hotel should be considered. It's a JW Marriot and feels that way, everything you would expect from the brand. My only complaint would be the gym and the pool - both very nice but both too small. When the hotel is... More
