Century Park Hotel

8/10 Good

"The location is great, space is pretty decent and overall unit was in good condition but the noise of the air units is ridiculous . Very hard to rest with the noise from other rooms even if you turn yours off . Staff was helpful and friendly the only downside was the noise"

Luskin Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Conveniently located in the heart of UCLA, this hotel was such a pleasure’s to stay at! It is very clean, the staff is helpful and polite and there is a warm Mediterranean atmosphere. The à la carte food at the Plateia restaurant was absolutely amazing! Would definitely stay there again even if not visiting the campus."

Home2 Suites By Hilton Woodland Hills

10/10 Excellent

"We were overall very satisfied with our accommodations. Everything was comfortable and convenient for the most part. Staff interactions were all wonderful and very helpful! The only drawbacks were the $31 nightly valet parking fee which the 2nd night when we returned at 2:45am had no one manning the desk even though they said it was a 24 hour service. I believe the hotel should provide parking as a paying guest. Also, one of our 5 guests had to sleep on the couch pullout bed which was extremely lacking. The mattress was so thin and uncomfortable. He could feel the metal frame through it and ended up with a backache both nights. We have stayed at other Hilton hotels with similar beds and they have always been a regular mattress. The bedding for all the beds were also kind of dingy and the blanket were not warm or thick. These would be our only real issues, otherwise we thoroughly enjoyed our stay."
