Know what you are in for
Yes this hotel is close to the airport and certainly cheap. And there is the free shuttle to the airport. So for early morning flights it is better than fighting the LA traffic. 
But as single women travelling this is not in a good location and all the rooms are open access with no security. They offer 1/2 day rates. The staff was very friendly but we could not get rooms near each other, nor could we get rooms on the first floor and we had lots of luggage that we had to haul up the stairs. Our rooms were at the back of the hotel and looked out to a housing complex. They smelled terrible and were not very nice - but it is a Travelodge and you get what you get. There are no options for eating other than Denny's. We actually ended up staying in a room together because of the security concern.
