Top Santa Monica Hotel Reviews

Sonesta Los Angeles Airport LAX

Sonesta Los Angeles Airport LAX

8/10 Good
"The property is very nice, and the room was very clean and comfortable. We checked in fairly late in the evening after a Dodger's game and the area was very busy due to its proximity to the airport, so we were somewhat confused about our parking options. However, that was resolved and it was very easy to return our rental car the next morning and make it in plenty of time for an early flight out of LAX. They also offer a shuttle service to the airport, so I would recommend this hotel for travelers, especially if they have an early flight."
