Very close and convenient proximity to LAX airport...

Very close and convenient proximity to LAX airport, including a free shuttle running every 15 minutes. Not much by way of walkable businesses nearby. There are a handful of eateries of varying quality within 2/3rds of a mile, but not really a bustling business district. But for a quick stopover to rest up during our 9 hour layover it was a perfect solution. Longer stays would probably want a vehicle or an account with a ride share service.

Our room was clean. The on site dining was decent faire. There is a Starbucks on site too. While we were there the elevators were always in high demand. I don't know if one or two were out of service or if it's always this way. But we were always able to squeeze in, though a couple times we witnessed others opting to wait for the next one.

There is a small amount of airplane noise, but not objectionable, particularly given the convenience in proximity to the airport. Mostly the sound registered on my mind first as "are those airplanes?" ...and later not noticeable.

If I had another long layover after an international flight and wanted to get some rest I would stay here again without hesitation. If I were a tourist spending time in LA I wouldn't consider proximity to LAX reason enough to forego staying closer to interesting parts of the city (which this is not). If I were in town just on business and my meetings were close by, sure, this place would fit that need well too. The hotel is great, clean, well run, well decorated, and everything you would expect of a big brand hotel in a large city.

For my use case it was also ideal, and I suppose the next time I have a 12 hour flight followed by another couple hours of flying, if I'm unable to get the flights close enough together I will intentionally book them far enough apart that I can do a stop-over here to sleep off some of the jetlag. I was able to arrive home in much better shape than if I had pushed through without rest.
