Royal Palace Westwood

Pros: Room - clean, bed - comfortable, the balcony was a nice addition. Having the microwave and mini fridge was nice to have (only used the mini fridge) for food storage. CONS: Took a shower only to find out that much of the water didnt go down the drain, but flowed outside the shower area, FLOODING the entire bathroom. My dirty clothes laying on the floor was SOAKED. Took over a day to wring all the water out and wait for them to dry. I told management and housekeeping came by to clean up the mess, but no one came to investigate the actual issue / cause of the flooding. It's UNACCEPTABLE that the layout of the shower area allows for this to happen. There's no extra barrier / graded drain to stop any flooding from happening if the shower drain is too small to handle a constant flow of water. These issues need to be looked at, assessed and fixed. I'd like to come back to this hotel another time, but not until the issues I mentioned have been addressed and an actual fix is implemented. Grab bars next to the toilet and shower should be reaccessed. Toilet grab bar is too far back, making it difficult to stand up when the edge of the bar is behind you at a standing position, forcing you to turn your body towards it. Shower bars need to be repositioned for easier access for those using the shower chair. (Getting in and out without having the on / off handle behind us). It's a bit difficult to reach if we need to face outwards to get out easier.

Overall, the stay was good. The parking was kind of tight and small. It was a little hard to park, but it was free, which is really rare in that area. The room was so clean and the staff were good people. The only downside was I expected the front desk to be friendlier, but sometimes I saw some people over there. They didn't want to have eye contact with me or other people, but in general, I was happy with my stay.

Great location. Loved the small size and that onsite parking and breakfast were included. Easy walk to The Hammer Museum, restaurants, Target, Whole Foods, Trader Joe’s. Kitchenette and private patio for our first floor room were added bonuses. Front desk staff was friendly and helpful.

Not worth the price I paid

Location and room Breakfast is bad even for the american hotels

Location is great, clean, comfortable room. Breakfast was included although we didn’t have it. Although parking is included half the spaces require you to leave your keys as cars are double parked and they are quite tight. Most of the staff were very friendly but the receptionist on duty when we checked out didn’t actually speak to us at all which is a shame as that was our last impression of the hotel.

We were in a second floor King Suite. Nice layout, but the bed was awful. It had a large sag in it. The feeling was it was downhill to your head. Breakfast was just ok. Clean, but not worth the $400 to have a place to stay for a doctors appointment at UCLA.

Exceptional

Very central location for UCLA activities

Very good

Location perfect, rooms big . Will stay again for sure.

Reviews on internet on different sites are not appropriate. It was a okay hotel for a night of hotel stay or if you are coming alone for business stay. But with family and for longer stay, I would not recommend it.

Room was clean, huge with separate living room and nicely equipped kitchen; bedroom with comfortable bed and plenty of pillows. Parking is super tight and difficult to get out of your car if someone parks next to you. Even though the bed is very comfortable I was not able to sleep at all because it was super noisy and smelly from the restaurants AC that was just across the alley from my window. Maybe the other side of the hotel was better and also I’m very light sleeper so for someone else this might have been a 5 star.

Very good

Always a pleasure to stay here!

Location Microwave & fridge Dining room always open. None

The room was cleaned every day. The staff was very friendly. Great and safe location

Everything was great about our stay. The only exception would be the shower head. It is a rain shower type. It is very high up and directed to the back of the tub, and by the time it hits you, the individual sprays are about 3 inches apart. Meaning by the time it hits me at 5 feet, the spray pattern was weak and not very effective at rinsing. The location is very convenient, easily walkable to appointments at UCLA, restaurants and shopping. They underwent upgrades 2 years ago and the rooms are much nicer, clean and modern. The housekeeping was wonderful. I highly recommend your stay here.

The two staffs were very helpful, friendly, and sincere. I really appreciate it. Thank you.

Stay here frequently when in LA and choose it because it’s such a nice place to stay. The rooms and the staff are top notch. The neighborhood is safe and has a lot of convenient shops and restaurants within walking distance. I love the access to public transportation if I want it(close stop to get to airport) and near museums and the botanical gardens.
