The W Los Angeles is located in Westwood. Westwood is the home of UCLA and Westwood Village which is a great place. The Hotel is walking distance to the campus, several great restaurants, Diddy Reese cookies, Stan's Doughnuts and BJs. The hotel is located about a mile from the I-405. It is about 3 miles from Beverly Hills. While it... more

I have stayed at other W hotels, i love their whatever/whenever services, and besides the Hong Kong, and the new W hotel at Fort Lauderdale, this one was great too! For those who have never stayed at a W hotel, its a very trendy, young, place to stay. I spent the weekend with my boyfriend just to get away, and... more

I visit the UCLA area regularly and found this amazing hotel through the Starwood Preferred Guest Network. Each trip, I am always impressed by the friendly staff greeting me at the door to take my bags and making sure I have everything I need throughout my stay. There is a courtesy car available on a first-come first-serve basis that is... more

Typically W's have the familiar W smell - this one however smells like garbage in the lobby area. Rooms have been fine but the lobby smells like garbage - 2 weeks in a row. more

Spent a nice weekend at the W in a "spectacular suite." Every staffer we encountered at the W was friendly and helpful - starting with the parking attendants. Check-in was quick and Saturday "brunch" in the backyard, though pricey, was very well prepared and presented. The suite was a nice surprise (we had been upgraded) - living area and bathroom... more

What a let down this hotel was. We had just arrived from a 14 hour flight from Australia and were checking in when the receptionist spotted our duty free bag and advised it would be confiscated! Apparently no alcohol is allowed to be brought into the hotel that is not sold in the hotel - what a mad policy... we... more

To be honest I had been told that The W was going to be the most amazing hotel, but very sadly it was completley the opposite. The lifts did not work, I and at least 5 others were stuck in one for nearly 20 mins onr evening. The service was not good and the decor very dated, this is a... more

We enjoyed a nice two night stay at the W over the 4th of July weekend. Although previous posters have mentioned poor service, the service we experienced, from the front desk to the concierge to the pool staff were all friendly and helpful. The building is definitely older, but the decor is modern. The lobby has the cool, clean style... more

We spent six nights at the W Westwood using our Starwood points and paid for an upgrade to a suite with 3 rooms including an office. Room was very spacious and nice. I've stayed at the W in Seattle, which I felt was a nicer much more upscale hotel but the W in Westwood was still very nice. The staff... more
