Hyatt Place LAX/Century Blvd
Pool is rooftop 14th floor with views of LAX runways. Hotel is walkable from LAX if the traffic is too congested for the hotel shuttle. Take the faster LAX Uber shuttle to the Uber pickup lot and a short walk to the Hyatt from there. Cell phone service is not good with the interior rooms.
