Comfortable but a little 'tired'
The Westin name doubtless attracts many guests; my booking was via a booking system and the price was good but I had no control over which chain I would get. There is a lot of competition around LAX and so standards should be high.
Westin has a shuttle bus which goes to two hotels and I had approximately a 10 minute wait - the driver checked how long another guest and I had waited, making the point that a bus would be there in no more than 15 minutes - reasonable.
I had no problems checking in mid-evening Friday and on making my way to the room had the immediate impression in the corridors of a hotel ready for refurbishment - nothing specific just an atmosphere and old carpeting.
In fact the room allocated 419 was large with a large bathroom and good facilities.
The bed was large and comfortable.
The (in-bath) shower came with a flexible hose but also a selectable, large 'rain' head, probably the best I have experienced in any hotel lately. Towels were large and good quality.
It was difficult to find a convenient electrical socket but there were two wander leads with TV, lamps etc plugged into them. This ought to be a complete no-no ! I have no evidence of danger but do wonder whether this has been approved by the Fire Marshall.
Proper modernization would have separate sockets at mid height on a desk-style surface adequate for working. Other hotel chains manage this better - go across the street to the Hilton to see better design.
The bar was pleasant, well staffed and the food and drink good, if expensive (but no more so than other 4 star hotels)
Check out was simple, efficient and quick.
