My family consistently visits LA each summer and has stayed at many 4+ star hotels in the LA and Santa Monica area. The Century Plaza Hotel was a pleasant surprise for our family, not “luxurious”, but nicely decorated and maintained. The valet service was more than helpful and assisted us with directions around town. The room was spacious and nicely decorated with a great balcony overlooking the pool and garden. The landscaping and pool area is fabulous with great pool side menu! The hotel is located directly across from a Westfield Mall, grocery store and movie theater. The spa is top notch with a great array of services to pamper you. My only two complaints are that our heavenly bed with all white bedding was consistently stained. Even when we asked for a bedding change, the “new” bedding was stained as well. Yuck. My other complaint is that we had to pay $12 each time we used the fitness facility. When paying for such a grand hotel, the fitness should be included, not a surcharge. Regardless of the bedding and fitness, I would absolutely stay at the Century Plaza again. We can’t wait for our next LA visit to book the Century Plaza!
