This Sheraton enjoys a nice location between Agoura and Westlake Village. Located right off the 101 freeway, it's only a short drive to many good restaurants and bars. The nearby IHOP is open 24 hours. Islands is another family-friendly restaurant nearby. For couples I would suggest Nonna's in Westlake or Stonehaus for small plates and wine. The Old Place is a popular weekend spot in Agoura. There is good hiking nearby and the beach is one scenic drive away. Others might prefer a leisurely stroll along the lake in Westlake or browsing for bargain books at the Agoura library Saturday book sale. My room at the Sheraton was comfortable, with thick mattresses, downy pillows and a roomy bathroom. The newly installed LG flatscreen TV was huge compared to my home TV. I appreciated the good lighting for reading and good-sized refrigerator for restaurant leftovers. I didn't use the pool or fitness room but did notice a nice variety of equipment in the fitness room (though a bit crowded). The public areas were fine and there was complimentary coffee at the lobby level, supplementing the in-room Starbucks. Having stayed at many Sheraton hotels I was expecting better maintenance. One of the outdoor steps to the lobby was broken. Some paint/cement was missing from an outdoor wall going toward the conference rooms. Also, there were some holes in my bathroom wall where something once hung but was not replaced. The exterior paint colors seemed out of line for the Sheraton image, but maybe the image is changing? Overall I think the hotel is a good choice for a short stay.

This was a solid option for us - we wanted to be somewhere between LA and Santa Barbara, two travel points for us. We did have an issue at check in but I'm going to cut the property some slack, partly because I think it stemmed from confusion with Marriott's larger booking system and details about room types, and partly because the rest of the stay was very nice. (They did change our room to fix the issue, which worked great.) The property was a bit older but the lobby was updated and rooms were really nice and clean. All around, I'd definitely consider returning if we're in the area. (However, I will say that almost $20 for a tepid buffet breakfast in house is a bit much - we skipped it and went elsewhere and suggest others do, too.)

This property works well as a place to stay while going somewhere else. While it is generally clean and in a quiet setting at the base of a mountain, there is little that would cause you to want to stay longer. The biggest problem was that while California has lifted most restrictions, restaurants and bars are still closed. The public areas had a deserted feeling to them. Parking is free which for the LA area is a plus
