Royal Palace Westwood Hotel

I chose this hotel due to the proximity to a medical facility I was visiting. Don't be deceived by the modest outside, the rooms were very spacious and clean. Bathroom was spotless, beds were comfortable. Our room was by the elevator, but we didn't even hear it. The room had a small area with a microwave, coffee maker, mini fridge and mini sink. It also had a dining area with a table and four chairs. The outside view was to a wonderful little garden that belongs to a fancier hotel next door, so you get the view without the price tag. Breakfast is sort of grab and go, it does the job if needed. Hotel is located next to many food options in walking distance breakfast, lunch and dinner. Also there is a grocery store and convenience store 5-7 min away by foot. We chose to mainly travel by bus, the bus stations were really close to the hotel too and it saved us a lot. I felt safe in this area and we walked at different times of night and day. Overall I would choose this hotel if I travel to this area again.

The Royal Palace has definitely been much upgraded since my last stay there several years ago. The rooms and public spaces have been refurbished. The desk clerk was very patient and extremely helpful in dealing with getting me a cab (since I cannot use Uber or Lyft). Once he got me the right connections, I could do it myself after that. The location is excellent if you are doing anything at UCLA.

Staff was friendly and helpful. Amenities like complimentary breakfast ---The free fruit juices and fruits round the clock were nice to have ; then later they added hard boiled eggs as part of their complimentary continental breakfast. there was ice always available. Proximity to medical facilities and to restaurants is a real added plus. What would have improved the stay would be laundry facilities that were inside and available all hrs.

Neighbourhood close to UCLA and with a good number of shops and restaurants within (immediate) walking distance. Room was comfortable, spacious, and clean, with a safe provided. Did not try the breakfast, so rating does not include it.

Very good location for our needs. Good restaurants in <10 min drive, and even some in walking distance. Convenient parking arrangement in front of the hotel if you are comfortable with leaving the car keys. Large room, comfortable bed, reasonable A/C, clean bathroom. There was even a desk and office chair for people who need to do some work. Nice staff, both day and night.
