I've just been reading some interesting information on the Westin Bonaventure in LA. Here's a short article from one site:
It was similar at the Westin Bonaventure in Los Angeles. One Sunday morning in 2001, a man followed a young flight attendant to her room and pushed her in. Another flight attendant, Kathy Durst, was down the hall, heard her scream, and called the hotel operator for help. Kathy was surprised by what she says was the operator's response.
Kathy Durst: "She was coming off as unconcerned. Or thinking that, OK, you heard a scream. Big deal."
Kathy says she waited for help, and then called again. And yet again. Forty minutes went by.
Thompson: "Did security ever come?"
Durst: "Never."
Not until the victim stumbled from her room naked and made it to the lobby were police finally called. She had been raped. Records would later show the hotel operator and a security guard joked that the victim may have screamed because she'd seen a cockroach. No security guard ever went upstairs to investigate.
I don't feel like security is any better there now. It's important that crew do not become complacent in this area. Just because it is "centrally" located (via busses), does not make this hotel or the area safe. United Airlines and others moved from this hotel for a reason.
