Pay attention to the Los Angeles tourism season when visiting Whittier, but don't fret if your trip doesn't perfectly line up with the city's low period of visitation. The metropolitan area is sprawling, and Whittier is far enough away from Los Angeles that you may still find great hotel deals in Whittier when none exist in Los Angeles, especially if you book in advance.
Whittier's temperature is consistent year-round, with the winters dipping only into the high 60s and the summers reaching into the low to mid-80s. Winter is this region's rainy season, and summer is dry. The summer is also when the most tourists arrive in the Los Angeles region.

Below are reviews of the city of Whittier, CA from an actual visitor's perspective.
We like the uptown Whittier area, the restaurants and shopping.
We have come to Whittier from Las Vegas for many years to the dentist and chose Hilton Doubletree because her office is directly across the street.
I'm familiar as I lived there before. Specifically in uptown there's a lot of shopping and places to eat!
I was born and raised in Whittier,,,I graduated from Whittier high school. I will always love my hometown. It's still beautiful.
We traveled to the City of Whittier for the Pony 13U Zone tournament. The facility was beautiful and well maintained. The event was executed flawlessly.
Many dining options, walking distance to places, cute little town. Clean and felt safe.
Everything. The city had so much to offer in the way of facilities such as shopping, eating, fitness and exercise. The main road, Greenleaf Avenue, had a variety of different shops, bars, restaurants and cafe's all within walking distance of the Radisson Hotel which made the experience all the more pleasant.
