Royal Palace Westwood Hotel

The staff are attentive and enthusiastic, and the cleaning ladies are exceptionally nice! They also didn't pre-authorize my credit card, and the breakfast, though simple, was free. They even have a self-service laundry room, even if it's just one set of equipment. They even gave me laundry detergent! I absolutely love this hotel!

Great location, just a few minutes to the museums and UCLA. Free parking and complimentary breakfast, though the breakfast is quite basic.

The hotel's location is absolutely fantastic, and there's parking available. There are supermarkets and restaurants nearby, it's close to the school, and also convenient for several attractions. As for the price, it's not cheap, let's just say that.

The parking space at the entrance is very narrow. The female receptionist provided good service. The room facilities are just average. Housekeeping was very prompt.

We stayed at this hotel for nine out of our ten-plus days in LA because it was so convenient! The hotel has three floors, and most buildings in Westwood are three or four stories high. Although the hotel is a bit old, it was well-maintained and very clean inside and out. The surrounding area is also relatively quiet. The Hammer Museum is diagonally opposite, and there's a 24-hour restaurant, Denny's, next door. A few dozen meters away, around the corner, is a Target, and there are three or four large supermarkets like Target. A ten-minute walk away, there are various restaurants like In-N-Out, making life very convenient. It's about a 15-30 minute walk to different parts of the UCLA campus, making it a popular choice for parents and students. We stayed in various room types, from one-bedroom suites to two-bedroom suites and then to one-bedroom suites – we stayed in different locations and on different floors – and we were always satisfied. The free parking was especially great. The hotel includes a Western-style buffet breakfast, which might not suit everyone's taste, but it was definitely enough to fill you up. It had everything you'd expect: bread, eggs (peeled, cold hard-boiled eggs with salt and pepper; you can soak them in hot water if you don't like cold eggs), hot coffee, various tea bags, hot water, room temperature water, and ice water, oatmeal, iced milk, yogurt, fruit, and even an automatic pancake machine—just turn it on and it dispenses two hot pancakes to spread with honey. The restaurant wasn't large, with only 10 seats, serving from 7 to 10 pm. Except for one weekend day when it got a bit crowded, it was quite empty most of the time; you could sit down as soon as you arrived. We even saw some people taking their breakfast back to their rooms to eat. There was no bottled water in the rooms, but the restaurant provided coffee and hot water all day, and there was a huge ice maker in the hallway. Foreigners liked to fill large cups with ice, and we went to the restaurant to fill our cups with hot water every morning and evening. If you like hot water, remember to bring your own cup. The front desk is staffed every morning by an elderly gentleman with white hair. He doesn't smile much, works a bit slowly, but is very clear-headed and nice, and considerate of guests. Because the hotel is very popular, it's been almost fully booked every day lately. We managed to snag different rooms, and each time he tried his best to arrange rooms on the same floor for our convenience. If that wasn't possible, he would also help us store our luggage in the front desk storage room. Besides shampoo and soap, there are no other toiletries or slippers in the room, so it's best to bring your own. You can buy them at the supermarket, but they're a bit pricey for us. We've stayed at other hotels along Highway 1, and they all had similar amenities, but each room had a refrigerator, microwave, and coffee maker. We'll definitely stay here again next time we're in the area!
