The Westin Bonaventure Hotel and Suites, Los Angeles
10/10 Excellent
"Hotel smells great!! And the beds are wonderful! Especially the down pillows and comforter! However, the pull out bed did not have linens I had to call and request them. I wish that was immediately available, especially when traveling with a tired child. I ordered breakfast at the starbucks Cafe area, I ordered a spinach feta turn over that was pretty good according to my 12 year old, I ordered a breakfast bagel sandwich wich was good, I then ordered a ham and cheese with potato breakfast burritos it was probably one of the most bland burrito I have ever had with zero trace of cheese (not a single spec) the potatoes were not cooked it was just BAD! With that bieng said we really enjoyed the pool! And the room was specious and beautiful! We booked the suite with the city view. We will be booking again but won't be ordering the burrito :) the food and beverage vouchers were also a very nice and thoughtful touch."
