This place is super-convenient in a great location and within walking distance to lots of diverse and equally good choices of restaurants, shops and entertainment. Seasalt Fish Grill was a notable favorite. Westfield has a mall nearby. Santa Monica (via nearby I-10) is convenient and accessible. Other area attractions (LACMA, Beverly Hills) are not too far away. I didn't realize how close it would be to LAX (and the 405) so that was a huge plus when I had to leave at 5:30am to catch return flight.
