Courtyard by Marriott Los Angeles Century City/Beverly Hills

Awesome staff, centrally located

The staff is incredible- helpful, fast and friendly. It's fairly centrally located, at least for what we were in Los Angeles to do on this trip. 7-8 miles from Santa Monica, 7ish miles from Griffith Observatory. In a pinch, there's a Ralphs grocery store right accross the street (and there's a microwave and refrigerator in the room). Convenient valet ($20/night) parking in an area where there is none...at all...anywhere.

Minor issues: slow shower drain, horrific in-room coffee (there's a cafe w/Starbucks on site) and W Olympic Blvd is LOUD. The windows keep a lot of the noise out, we thought it was manageable.
