Independent, Marina del Rey hotels

"The big things were good, with a few niggles. Great location, food is wonderful. Towels were a bit ragged on one day, no creamer supplied with in-room coffee on one day, and on-demand TV did not work for 3 days despite technician's visit."

"The staff was super friendly and helpful."

"Nicely remodeled cool old building in an interesting area. Parking is expensive, otherwise a really good value. "

"I've stayed here multiple times - consistently a very good experience. Great, central location with nice rooms and friendly staff. "

"Clean and friendly. Great place to stay for a USC visit. "

"The hotel was nice and it was clean. We were only there 1 night, it met our needs. "

"Great location Great service "

"The room was nice and clean. The breakfast was very disappointing. Amenities listed included laundry but this was an outsourced service that charged 3 times the agreed rate and did not deliver at the agreed time either. "

"I've stayed several times at the Royal Palace due to its terrific location in Westwood and its relatively affordable rates. It has a funky exterior vibe and entry, but the rooms are large, comfortable and clean, and I have not had trouble with noise (exterior or interior). It also has free parking (many spaces are very tight - but mostly manageable). "

"Great courtyard"
