Loews Hollywood Hotel
The location is good but the room which was a Hollywood sign view room isn’t quite what I expected with the view overlooking mainly the exterior of other buildings with the sign barely visible. The room was very basic but clean and spacious. The bathroom was shower only but again clean and tidy. ...

It honestly wasnt that bad but there was a roach in our room. They gave us a new room but I can't give them more then I did because of the roach.

The Westin Bonaventure Hotel and Suites, Los Angeles
Great place to stay. Our first time staying downtown LA so it was louder than we expected. Great food, beautiful hotel. Close to Dodgers stadium. The only thing that I would like to see different is the valet parking actually bring your car to you. A very small inconvenience though.

The Biltmore Los Angeles
The Biltmore is a how beautiful overall, the only thing that would have made it perfect is if they would have had some kind of magnets on the shower curtain? Because the shower was very small, and the curtain kept hitting me. Not too sanitary and annoying when showering.
