"Hotel was nice and in a central area by LAX. Only issue I had was there parking. You share parking with the next hotel. But the parking structure is owned by a 3rd party. They charge you everytime you exit the structure. That is a big issue l had with them"

"Comfortable room. Good location (close to LAX airport). Good airport shuttle service - to and from the airport. Hit or miss in terms of help with luggage from the shuttle driver (please don't forget to show/give gratuity). The heated swimming pool was fantastic and I like that it remains open till 10 pm. The pool side cabanas were great too. I also used the gym - it is open 24 hours and so since I was jet lagged and awake at 3am - working out at that hour helped me get tired for bed."
