Hilton Los Angeles Airport
"I arrived very late and the hotel shuttle came pretty promptly. It does maybe need a little cleaning, the seats were a little gross. Check in was fast and easy. The cafe had the largest muffins I have ever seen (delicious, too). Bed was comfortable. Room was spotless and seemed recently updated."

Loews Hollywood Hotel
"It was fine. The resort fee is a rip-off. The bar, food etc was nothing special. Not sure why NOTHING is available between 3-4 pm. Valets were on it and we never waited more than 5 mins."

Holiday Inn Los Angeles - LAX Airport by IHG
"The bathroom was dirty. You could tell they did not sweep or wipe down the bathroom. The air vent looked as if it had not been cleaned in months. Also 45$ a day for parking is crazy."
