Courtyard by Marriott Los Angeles Century City/Beverly Hills

Good staff, near to UCLA...

Liked: The room allocated was very far from the elevator.If the room was little closer it would have been nice.The hotel staff was pleasant and welcoming.Hotel is clean. The walls seem very thin as you could hear sound from other room.

Very good

NOT WHAT I WAS HOPING...

Liked: All valet staff. Graveyard shift desk clerk. Comfortable bed.
Disliked: Buttons attached to AC/heating unit didn't work. I attempted to call the front desk, but the room phone did not work. I was in the middle of preparing to attend a family wedding and had to take out my rollers to walk down to the front desk to inform them my ac unit did not work. On my way down the hall, I attempted to ask housekeeping if she could contact someone yo fix my a/c. She kindly shook her head and said she did not understand me. At the front desk, the clerk said they were updating phones to the cloud, but my room "wasn't on the list for the update," so she didn't know why my phone wasn't working. Apparently, there is a breakdown in communication. Her solution? She said I could call the property from my cell phone, but did not give me that number.I had to ask her to write down the number.She mentioned that there is another access thermostat on the wall in another area of my room. I asked the location, and she said, "it's on the wall either on the left side or the right side after the bathroom." I stated that the bellman did not point this out when he brought up my bags. This should be part of his job to point these things out.On my first morning, I was awakened at 6 am by the alarm clock that went off next to my bed. I'm assuming the prior guest needed to awaken that early. But I didn't. Lastly, I noticed my toilet was not functioning properly. It was flushing slowly and not completely. I called the front desk and was told someone would be up within 20 minutes. When no one came, I called the front desk again and said I needed to take a shower. She suggested I call back after I took my shower, and then he would come fix the toilet. I was not happy with that response, but fortunately, as we were still talking, the engineer knocked on my door, I let him in, and he fixed the flushing issue. He was very nice and did a good job.One, maybe two issues with my room would be okay.

Wouldn’t stay again, unless they...

Liked: Bed was good. AC fan works well.
Disliked: WiFi signal was nearly non-existent in the rooms. Staff was understandably rude about the issue since there’s nothing they can do about it.

Bookit

Liked: room was comfortable, balcony small but cozy
Disliked: N/A

$1000+ for 3 nights should...

Liked: Not much
Disliked: Decor was tired, spa was just a cold jacuzzi, bistro closed when we wanted to use it. $1000+ for 3 nights should have been far more luxury than it was
