Still a good choice for LAX but needs a facelift
I’ve stayed here before, but it’s been years. I was surprised to see that there haven’t been any renovations, improvements, or updates. It’s still probably the best airport hotel I’ve stayed in, but it’s beginning to show signs of wear and tear around the edges. The pool cabanas, for instance, have great privacy curtains which can be closed, but the locks have all torn lose, so they can’t be closed properly. So if it’s windy (as it was one of the nights we were there) it’ll be useless.
The best thing about this hotel is that one can still order food at the bar up until 1 AM. So if your flight lands late, and you get to the hotel at 10pm, like we did, even though the restaurant is closed (which is unfortunate), the bar will still serve food. I don’t understand airport hotels who close their restaurants before 2 AM.
The breakfast buffet could be better stocked (they have lox and cream cheese but no bagels, etc). It was overpriced and should be complimentary for every guest room.
The shuttle to and from the terminals is frequent and free.
Recommended for an early flight to LAX, or a late arrival. But I wouldn’t want to stay here for more than one night at a time.
