Top Southern California Hotel Reviews

The Westin Bonaventure Hotel and Suites, Los Angeles

8/10 Good

"They were launching their new booking system. It was a mess. It took us 1 hour to check in. The person next to us checked in and later returned to the front desk because the room they were assigned was already occupied. A huge mess and very little help. I recommend calling ahead or expect delays if you are traveling in the coming days, as they're still getting settled with their new system."

The Queen Mary

8/10 Good

"It was a good stay. We were there during a Halloween Dark Harbor event so it was very noisy until about 11 o’clock at night which was fine with us. The property is beautifully creepy. There is a lot of history to look at and in the end, we had a good time."

Hilton Los Angeles Airport

10/10 Excellent

"Room, staff and food were excellent. Only issue was shuttle was busy and we got on the third shuttle."

Hilton Anaheim

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel was really nice and the employees were very courteous and helpful. The only thing we did not like was the 20% automatic tip in the restaurant and bar area. I’m not opposed to tipping 20%, it’s just that I want to be the one to make that decision. Because of that, we did not tip any additional amount…which we may have done otherwise. Lunch at Disney, surprisingly, wasn’t as expensive as lunch at the hotel."

Motel 6 Anaheim Maingate

10/10 Excellent

"Great value for a basic room where we just slept and showered as most of out time was spent at Disneyland and Universal studios. Beds were comfortable, water was hot, room was clean and well maintained. The pool was nice for cooling off on record hot days. Would have been a little better if it had a microwave."

Anaheim Majestic Garden Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"I loved my stay . The rooms were clean . The staff were so friendly. I love the fact they had a shuttle. After a long day of walking to come back to the hotel and rest was such a relief.."
