The Westin Los Angeles Airport

The Westin Los Angeles Airport

8/10 Good
"Room was just ok I expected more for the price. Room wasn’t all that cleaned. Water pressure in the sick of room 933 sucks so bad. Bathrooms need a double sick especially for double beds rooms. I know there isn’t much of a view but the windows are soooo dirty on the outside you can’t see out to anything. The main areas of the hotel are really nice and clean. Was able to check in early staff was helpful. Had dinner at the daily grill which was good and convenient. Overall a good stay right next to the airport. Was quite a wait for the shuttle from the airport but again super convenient."
