The Westin Los Angeles Airport

The Westin Los Angeles Airport

8/10 Good
"I didn’t like that they weren’t upfront with the price of parking. $85 a night. Also what’s a destination fee? We paid almost a $1000 for a room for three night. We’ve loved staying at The Westin hotel but they’ve raised their prices. I’ll probably check other hotels next time."
