For my deeply discounted price, it was worth it...
In case anyone hasn't noticed, there is an arms race in the hotel biz these days. And it's about time. Hotels are all renovating, and innovating. This place though, average. The rooms are clean and fine, but plain. The lobby was nice, but service was seriously lacking. We waited 10 minutes for someone to come help us with our mountain of bags, then gave up and man-handled them ourselves. Check in was quite good, but then I came back to buy some aspririn. You would have thought I had asked for Russian caviar, "Um you mean you want me to go check to see if we can sell you aspirin??" "OK, we have it, but it's $10!" "OK, I'll sell it to you, but it will take a while, I have to fill out this invoice and you'll have to sign it." I hope I'm not sounding petty, but has no one ever asked for aspirin before? 
I paid $120 a night each for two rooms. Had I paid the prices that I see are being advertised now, I would have felt very overcharged. If there really are no better LAX hotels, then I suggest there is a business opporunity there.
