Different, nice.
We weren't quite sure what to expect when we made reservations here. The staff was very accommodating and friendly. Walking in this hotel took my breath away - in a good way. I felt as though I was in another country. The Moroccan style was beautiful and warm. The rooms, though different were comfortable and had everything we needed. Not the Westin, for sure, but then it wasn't what we expected. The only thing I would chance would be thicker bath towels. You might want to request a few extra at check-in. Take a break and enjoy the poolside bar, arrive early to get seating. Heaters help with the cool evenings. (nice) 
The hotel is centrally located and we walked everywhere. Make sure and visit the Pantry and Staples Center. Not too far at all from USC campus where we visited the museum. All in all a good experience. Bring your earplugs if you're a light sleeper. The traffic starts early in the morning.
