The room was just OK -- nothing special. Somewhat smaller room that I had expected but the bed was comfortable. The gym is pretty good though often fairly crowded in the morning. For a quick bite there are several fast food places and a small convenience store in the building. The pool was nice and not crowded day or night.More

The Westin is a really well done hotel in the middle of downtown LA. The lobby is huge with a central bar area. Lots of couches around the lobby as well to sit and grab a drink. Pool looked nice enough from the room. Room was standard with a nice bathroom. Not much to do in downtown LA, the hotel was the highlight.
Thank you for the great review. We are glad that you enjoyed your stay with us and hope to see you again soon!
We stayed at the hotel for two nights on our way to Santa Barbara. It's a fun hotel with a lot going on, having several dining and drinking options on sight. It also has some shopping but it is not cheap. We found it a pretty convenient location to drive around and explore LA. The rooms are nice but quite small, the staff are all very attentive and pleasant and the concierge was very helpful. The parking is expensive so keep that in mind and you do have to wait a while sometimes when they are busy to get your car unless you call ahead. It's an LA landmark hotel and I am glad I experienced it.

The Westin Bonaventure -- built in 1974-76 is a futuristic hotel (from a 40-years-ago perspective, think Kubrick 2001) -- with very good staff. Rooms were renovated about 4 years ago so bathrooms are nice; sleep quality was very good on tenth floor (Rm. 1072). Glass elevators and four pods give you the Space 1999 vibe.
Two areas for improvement: First, the gym is undersized. Stayed three nights; each trip to the gym the treadmills were full and required a wait. Memo to management: the lack of treadmills is a negative to today's business traveller.
Second, the gift shop embraces the hotel's city-within-a-city approach a bit too much. Neosporin tube was $14.99 -- like, wow, I could buy two and half tubes at the ripoff LAX place. Downtown LA has really become cool, so the antidote is to leave behind George Jetson and walk down S. Flower Street (nice walk with the LA Library cool building, etc.) over to S. Hope and 7th Street to Walgreens (and across the street Rite Aid).
Downtown LA really has improved over the years. Having stayed 30 years ago at the Westin Bonaventure, the surrounding area has improved with restaurants. Public School 213 (W. 6th and S. Flower) is great -- gluten free, vegan etc. along with beer. Spear Steak & Seadfood looked good.
And LA has great restaurants away from The Jetsons, such as Spago's and Lucques, to name two.
Really liked the staff. Glad to have Starbucks in the lobby.

I've stayed many times in this hotel. It offers a lot. The rooms are very comfortable and clean. On the 4th floor, there are many places to eat. I make a routine of going to the HighRise Restaurant for breakfast each morning; great breakfast for about $5. The staff are always responsive and the hotel is ideally situated -- lots of things nearby.

Currently lying in my room on a high floor. Unfortunately, there is some kind of event going on near the pool with loud music which can be heard clearly even on the higher floors with the windows closed and all available drapery pulled. Room is clean and reasonably equipped, but I wouldn't stay again. For those who don't mind the loud music, it would be fine. The lobby is a large and meandering with multiple changes of level. It is all accessible but someone with mobility problems would want to know the layout to minimize walking and to get around the various level changes. Wireless internet is free and I had no problems with connection or speed. The hotel only has valet parking, but there are a couple of public parking lots nearby. There are plenty of elevators and they move rapidly.
We appreciate your review and glad you chose to stay with us. We are constantly working on improving our guest’s overall experiences and hope to see you again soon as we look into these issues.
