booked through priceline for a great price on this hotel. was pleasantly surprised by the size of the room. bath and body works toiletries were nice. metro rail and local bus lines are nearby as are sights (walt disney concert hall/music center, etc). parking is expensive. if i had to choose between the bonaventure and the marriott i would choose... more

We have just returned from a six night stay at Downtown Marriott and were pleasantly surprised. We went to Disneyland by train. Hollywood and Universal Studios by Metro and 3rd St Promenade Santa Monica on the Big Blue Bus. Hotel is so convenient for public transport. I am a senior and travelled with my adult son and can honestly say... more

for my first time to stay in a mariott chain,i will probably not stay there again.very expensive for the value,staff not friendly at all,very small pool,miserable fitness room,unbelievable disgusting and poor breakfast.only the room was large enough(but at the price,you could have much,much better other place).overall,i think that all managers hotel in USA have so much to learn and practice... more

I wish I had more time in hotel and for all the things right around the hotel. The pool area was very nice! I lucked out with priceline on this one. Very easy to stay here without a car because MetroRail is near by. Before I checked In hear I stayed a night at the Westin across the street and... more

General Management has NO CLUE on how to run the place. The Pool was a sad attempt in class, the food took forever in middle of day when NO ONE was even ordering.. everything was broken, escalators, elevators, internet. JW MARRIOTT would cringe if he were alive and saw this palce. more

This stay was only possible because I got a bargain on Hotwire, $64 I think. Great hotel and room for the price. However, and this is a big however, if you are on business and rent a car, then the ONLY option for conveniently parking is the valet which is $30 a day, making it among the biggest hotel rip-offs... more

got 2 rooms at this hotel from priceline.com for $60/night. the room was great with comfy beds and pillows. bathroom was fill with bath & body works stuff. one of the rooms had a separate bath and shower. we were on the 5th floor so we didnt get much of a view except for the freeway. we rented a car... more

My friends and I went here during the Rose Bowl. We did not have a car so the location was very easy to walk to subway and the bus. Staff was very helpful and rooms were clean. The area seems very safe although on the weekends it is dead, not good if you want nightlife. The only thing we did... more

We found this hotel just okay. There was nothing extremely spectacular about it. But we have no major complaints either. One thing we appreciated was that we were allowed early check-in. The rooms were what you would expect of a 4 star hotel. The beds and pillows were very comfortable. There didn't seem to be many guests when we were... more
