I had been here already a few times a few years ago before the renovation of the rooms and things are going better. Room was big, hip and comfortable. Staff is professional, although things went a bit wrong at check in and check out, and although trying to act cool, not snotty whatsoever. The Thirtynine restaurant is nice, the pool... more

Let me start off by saying that things were malfunctioning in our room, i.e. cable, a/c, etc. but because of their very gracious and wonderful staff I will go back again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! They couldn't fix the problems, but the did more than make up for all the issues. About the room: I stayed in a corner room suite. It was really... more

This hotel is definately hip and not for someone who wants quiet. The rooms have been updated so the decor is a funky 70's style to it (not exactly our taste) but you can't fault it. The hotel itself has a very laid back atmosphere. The staff were all very helpful, professional and anything you want they will try to... more

We are discriminating travelers and so always worry when we try a new hotel. We were on our way to the desert with our children (ages 12 and 17) and wanted to stop in LA for a night. Anyway, we arrived at 7:00p and were promptly greeted by the parkers. Upon checking in, we asked to have both rooms nearby... more

I agree with the gist of most of the other reviews I have seen here: This is a very nice hotel in a convenient, cool part of LA. However, I can understand why the W might not be for everyone. It is maybe just a bit pretentious and silly (e.g., the special W vocabulary where "Wheels" equals "Valet parking" etc.).... more

I'll start by saying I was here for business, not pleasure. My business associate had booked us to stay here. Very pretentious and the entire wing we were staying in smelled of marijuana. It fired up in the evenings. I told the front desk, but they did nothing to hunt down the culprits. This place definitely caters to the tragically... more

I loved my five night stay at the W. I was on a mixture of business and just fun, and it couldn't have been a better fit. L.A. can be hard to get around, but the W is in a great location in Westwood Village, and a pleasant walk to great restaurants, movies, theater, and other services. The hopping bar/restaurant... more

My husband and I had to be at UCLA for his cancer treatment and wanted to be very close to the campus. We looked at several places online but decided on the W. The hotel is very modern, which is not my taste - however everything is done extremely well. The service is excellent and when I checked in Tracy... more

I am primarily a business traveler. When my colleague wanted to stay at The W, I was afraid it might be too chic for my taste. I was wrong. Each room is a mini-suite, and very comfortable, and I had a wide screen plasma in the living room. The staff was what you normally expect from a 5-star hotel. The... more
