The Westin Bonaventure Hotel and Suites, Los Angeles

The Westin Bonaventure Hotel and Suites, Los Angeles

10/10 Excellent
"My son and I stayed there for a couple nights and we absolutely loved this hotel. The one downside is that it does not have a hot tub but other than that everything was fantastic. Good location because there is a lot of stuff near us and it was a really nice view, especially the view from the pool was really cool We’ll definitely stay again."
