Top Southern California Hotel Reviews

Hilton Garden Inn LAX Los Angeles Airport

10/10 Excellent

"All good"

Desert Palms Hotel & Suites

10/10 Excellent

"Upon arrival, the first impression was this place is beautiful. Inside was immaculate and smiled very clean. The staff was very welcoming and answered all our questions before going to the room. The room itself was very clean. My wife had the best sleep all year long in that bed. The linens were so clean. It was hard for my wife to get out of bed every day because she was so comfortable and slept so peaceful in it. The breakfast was good very clean and they changed it up every day. Parking was good. Didn’t have to worry . Definitely would recommend staying here"
