Top California Hotel Reviews

The Westin Bonaventure Hotel and Suites, Los Angeles

10/10 Excellent

"The customer service was excellent -with the front desk staff very kind and welcoming and made my check-in very quick and smooth. The valet staff were also very kind and quick with my vehicle requests (they kindly opened the door for the two of us- passenger and driver, daily). The lobby level restaraunt staff was also very hospitable and provided great service during breakfast. The hotel was clean and grand (i.e., shopping, dining, rooftop pool. and the gym) and I loved the different towers layout. I did not walk to any nearby attractions, but the location was convenient and easy to get to in the downtown area. The room itself was very spacious and clean with a comfortable bed and comforter. The only down side was that I couldn't find an iron and ironing board, unless this was located elsewhere or upon request? I will definitely stay here again when I return to Los Angeles, CA."

California Suites Hotel

8/10 Good

"Very good location. Not walkable but driving is easy to go around. The coffee at the hotel was something else, not a usual "hotel coffee". This was a great coffee to our surprise. Parking is easy to find and very available. The feel is more like being at an apartment complex. Liked it. Could go back if found a good deal."

Handlery Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"I had a really great stay at this hotel! The room was clean, comfortable, and well maintained, and the overall atmosphere was very welcoming. The staff were friendly and helpful, which made the experience even better. The location was also convenient and made it easy to get around. Everything about my stay was smooth and enjoyable, and I would definitely consider staying here again. Highly recommend! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️"

Hilton Anaheim

8/10 Good

"Was in room 7-113 it was a great hotel and everyone was super helpful from the minute we got there. Room was clean and well done, the only complaint with the room was that we couldn’t hear the rolling of the elevators all night, but it wasn’t outrageously loud or anything. And the only other drawback is the cost of parking for people staying at the hotel is quite high. Other then that, it’s a great place to stay"
