Hilton Los Angeles Airport
Very convenient for the airport with free shuttle service. Hotel looks very swish downstairs but the room and especially bathroom were very tired. Small snack shop exceptionally expensive, $6 for a small bottle of water. Nice breakfast buffet.

Sonesta Los Angeles Airport LAX
Great property however a $200 a day hold is put on your credit card which can add up to be more than the room cost. In addition, i paid the room cost up front and they still wanted to place a hold. Self parking is $55 a night and valet $70 per night.
