Appreciated upgrade to 2 BR suite. Spacious and comfortable. Very difficult calling hotel and getting. A person. Big construction project next door. Was bummed about trucks beeping starting. 6 am. Good value from Expedia but high resort fee and taxes made it pricey. Great location….lots of coffee and food in Westwood plus very easy to UCLA. Ali’s appreciated they honored request to have room not facing Hilgard. But facing over a low rooftop between two wings of the hotel
