Categories

Cleanliness
8.2
Generally described as modern and clean (multiple mentions). A few reports of gritty sheets and an initial cigarette smell in one room lowered this slightly.
Service
6
Repeated negative comments about check-in staff being rude or unhelpful, long waits and an overbooking incident; these service issues meaningfully dragged this category down.
Location
9.8
Consistently praised for being right by LAX with frequent free shuttle service; excellent choice for short stays near the airport.
Room Quality
8.8
Rooms described as practical, spacious and comfortable with large bathrooms and good showers. Some guests noted overly soft beds or occasional bedding issues.
Amenities
9
Good on-site amenities reported (free airport transfer/shuttle, pool, gym, late check-out availability). Minor complaints about very cold AC in hallways/fitness room.
Value for Money
6
Mixed to negative: some guests felt value was good, but multiple significant complaints about undisclosed destination/resort fees, large security deposits and price discrepancies reduced perceived value.
Food and Beverage
8.1
Standard quality for this hotel tier (not specifically discussed in reviews).
Overall Experience
8.9
Overall positive comments about comfort, modern facilities and convenience for airport stays, tempered by service-related problems and unexpected fees; many guests still recommend or would return.

Pros:

位置非常好，住在12楼视野特别好，能看到洛杉矶机场飞机滑行，起飞和降落，每天可以坐酒店接驳车到机场再去往洛杉矶各个角落游玩，但其实自己走路到地铁站更近，非常方便。房间非常好。非常舒适。房间内的矿泉水都可以喝，特别喜欢胶囊咖啡机。自助早餐非常值得一试，虽然需要另外付费但是很好吃。照片都在电脑里了，但是跟booking图片上的一模一样，所见即所住

Cons:

没有
