Loews Hollywood Hotel
Sheraton Gateway Los Angeles Hotel
"The room was very spacious. The furniture wasn’t brand new, but it was clean. The USB charging ports didn't work, which might be due to a lack of timely maintenance. The location is excellent, and the shuttle bus is a major advantage."

Sheraton Universal Hotel
"We like the hotel location and have stayed here twice. The pool area and main floor were nice because we didn’t have rooms across from us. So, we found it quieter. Rooms are small for 4 people as they are narrow, but does the job. We’ll be back"
