I stayed at this hotel in December for a 1 night layover from Houston to Honolulu. I reserved the 1 king standard room online without any issues directly on the Marriott website. The hotel shuttle runs at LAX at about every 15 minutes at each terminal. The terminal maps posted on the walls showed a shuttle stop at terminal 1, but was incorrect. From where I was (near the check in lobby by Southwest) the closest hotel shuttle stop was at terminal 2, which was not a far walk. I did call the hotel prior to getting on the shuttle and they let me know how often the shuttle passes by. The shuttle driver came by as mentioned and the drive to the hotel was less than 10 minutes, I'm sure it depends on the traffic. The shuttle driver was friendly and helpful I noticed later that evening there was a lot more stop and go traffic in the area due to the game at SoFi stadium. I checked in online, but declined to use the smart phone room key option, I prefer a regular card key so I had to stop by the front desk anyway. The stop at the front desk took only a few minutes, the gentleman at the front desk was professional and informative. The lobby of the hotel was modern in appearance and not that much people around. The restaurant and bar was open and I enjoyed a drink and dinner there later. The service there was excellent. I sat near the bar at the Studio 12. The food and cocktails were delicious. The room was spacious and clean, the bed very comfortable and the central air conditioning system easy to use. I was on the 4th floor and I did not notice any excessive noise from outside or from the hallway. Nothing out of the ordinary to note as everything in the room that I used worked as it should. I was here for only one night, but would stay here for longer if my visit called for it. The price was comparable to other hotels in the area. It would be a great option when catching an event at SoFi or other sporting venues in the area. I did not have a car, but I noticed the parking rate was high, $60 or more per night, but about average for the hotels in this area. I checked out early the next morning, I could not see anyone at the front desk, but there was a kiosk drop box for quick checkout, just drop your room key in there and done. So there is another reason why I don't like to use the smart phone room key. My hotel receipt was emailed to me later that morning. The shuttle bus which runs 24 hours a day, came by a few minutes later and took me to the airport. No fuss. This was an enjoyable stay, even if it was only for 1 night.

“Ideal”

One of the better hotels at LAX, a couple of blocks away from the Century Blvd. hotel line-up. Free 24-hour shuttle to and from the airline terminals.

One of the better hotels at LAX, a couple of blocks away from the Century Blvd. hotel line-up. Free 24-hour shuttle to and from the airline terminals. The hotel has a boutique feeling, elegant and relaxing, with a sleek lobby. Full service restaurant, plus adjacent dining area with bar stool seating and pool table, a separate bar lounge with its own food menu. plus a living room area. These all flow into one another. Rooms are very restful in neutral colors. Older bathrooms with tub and shower as one, but well-maintained and fairly spacious. The rooms have a good variety of lighting. Giant TV screen with plenty of channels. Wow, they are even providing a pen and notepad again. No one knocked on my door, despite having a late check-out. Rooms appear to be soundproofed against jet noise. All staff were professional and courteous. Jose was especially helpful during breakfast service. The behemoth Hertz car rental facility is a 5-10 minute walk. Across the way from Hertz is Aliki Greek Taverna, a casual spot with delicious food. Plus you can walk over to Century Blvd. for more dining spots in various eateries and other hotels.

“Nowhere to eat if you arrive late”

We arrived late after a long flight, check in was really smooth and the staff were friendly. Room was great, really big and super comfy. The only downside was no food available. The bar area was open but there was no option for food, the bar staff was very rude in telling us this too. We asked if … more

We arrived late after a long flight, check in was really smooth and the staff were friendly. Room was great, really big and super comfy. The only downside was no food available. The bar area was open but there was no option for food, the bar staff was very rude in telling us this too. We asked if there was anywhere nearby but there wasn’t as it’s in the industrial area near the airport. We ended up with door dash in the end at 11pm! We would’ve expected an airport hotel to have at least a sandwich offering for late arrivals.
