Hilton Los Angeles Airport
Super close to the airport and car rental depot. Shuttle was quick and easy. Many dining options with good food. It was clean and homey after our nightmare stay at a different hotel in Anaheim.

The Westin Bonaventure Hotel and Suites, Los Angeles
Clean room but didn't see much staff anywhere. The room service is terrible for the price you pay per room. Food is bland and cold and served in plastic containers.
