Westdrift Manhattan Beach Autograph Collection by Marriott

The noise was from outside - banging, grinding mechanical noises - started at 4:30 am and never stopped. Impossible to sleep. Junior suite is decent. Small bathroom for a suite. The people at the front desk were excellent. But wouldn’t stay here again.

My husband and I stayed at Westdrift to celebrate our anniversary, and we honestly couldn’t have asked for a more perfect experience. Bernardita from the front desk— made a great hotel stay feel truly personal and memorable. She took the time to congratulate us and made our celebration feel truly special. It's rare to come across someone who genuinely loves what they do and goes out of their way to make guests feel at home—Bernardita is that person. The hotel itself is beautiful. Every amenity was top-notch—the golf course, the gym, the cozy lobby, the restaurant—everything was spotlessly clean and beautifully maintained. But what stood out the most was the service. Everyone we encountered was kind and attentive. Thank you, Bernardita, for making our anniversary so magical. We’ll always remember your kindness—and we’ll definitely be back!

I travelled here with my family to go to a concert at the Forum. The location is great and we enjoyed our time by the pool and playing golf. The food was decent for its price and our room was cozy and clean. The only issue we experienced was the parking garage. Our key would constantly not work and we would be stuck in the garage or wouldn't be able to get in and have to go to the front desk to let us in. I would recommend this hotel because of its location and the amenities were great.

I travelled to LA for business for ten days and stayed at westdrift hotel. This has always been my go to hotel given their great location and cool vibe. The breakfast staffs namely Claudia are particularly friendly which sets a great mood for me to start the day. Also the view on the golf side is great as well. Will definitely come back

The Westdrift hotel has excellent, welcoming staff. But only 40% of the hotel is open, and the building has the kind of problems you might expect when there is not enough revenue to maintain the facility. On our first night, the HVAC air duct was right over our bed and vibrated constantly, generating over 45 dB of noise, even though we had the thermostat turned off. Also when we checked in, there were blood spots on the sheets and the toilet was unflushed. After a sleepless night, we were moved to a room on the West side of the building, away from the central HVAC. We were not given any kind of credit for these issues. The second room was quiet, but it had a shower door that would not close, leaving a 1/4” gap. We had to sop up all the water with towels every day. The rooms are on the small side, so there are no drawers except in the nightstands, and there are no portable luggage racks. For a 4-night stay, this was inconvenient. I ended up using an ironing board as a luggage rack. Although the rest of our stay went well, on checkout we were a bit shocked. The room seemed very reasonable at $230-260 per night. But then Westdrift daily tacked on $53 for valet parking (in an empty parking lot), $30 DST fee, and $35 room tax, plus $210 for F&B Room and more for internet. They had also told us we would get a $30 daily credit for food, but we did not receive this. The stay ended up costing us $435 per night after all the fees. I don’t know if I would stay here again, as it is the closest hotel to our relatives. But what a disappointment from Marriott.
