Paper Thin Walls in Expansive Hotel
Stayed at the Westin Bonaventure for several nights to attend a conference at the LA convention center. The hotel is huge with 3-4 separate towers...I was in the Blue. The staff was OK. Didn't always seem too knowledgeable of the area. I asked which direction to head for shopping once and another time a specific address (on South Figueroa Street) to an Avis rent-a-car, both times they weren't sure which direction to send me. The room itself was fine and the amenities were good. The Heavenly bed just as comfortable as at other Westin's. Cons: Charging $12.95 per day for internet and paper thin walls. My first night I was awakend at 3am by the party next to me...2 guys and a loud woman. The next morning I could hear a entire business meeting carried on in the room on the opposite side of me. Also, could hear the guests in the room above me through the vents from time to time. Enjoyed using the fitness room, which was large and well appointed. Experienced the main bar/restaurant in the lobby, where the service and food were perfectly fine. Wouldn't refuse to stay here again, but hope to experience something else on my next LA visit.
