Top hotels in La Brea
Hilton Los Angeles Airport
Very convenient for the airport with free shuttle service. Hotel looks very swish downstairs but the room and especially bathroom were very tired. Small snack shop exceptionally expensive, $6 for a small bottle of water. Nice breakfast buffet.

Sonesta Los Angeles Airport LAX
Great property however a $200 a day hold is put on your credit card which can add up to be more than the room cost. In addition, i paid the room cost up front and they still wanted to place a hold. Self parking is $55 a night and valet $70 per night.

Nice valet staff

E-Central Downtown Los Angeles Hotel
The room was clean, modern, and comfortable. My only complaints were that the bed and pillows were quite firm, and the air conditioner made a very loud noise each time it turned on. On a positive note, the valet parking attendant was very nice and helpful.

The Westin Bonaventure Hotel and Suites, Los Angeles
Both were great. I would rate it a 4.5. Bartender could’ve been more attentive, waited to long to order a drink. An additional bartender was needed to meet the needs of their guests !
