Pros:

Check in was easy. Close to Hertz rent a car. Quite noisy from aircraft but most noise went with air conditioner noise.
Shower was hard to use as need to pull shower control out to make it work and very stiff.

Pros:

Honestly I rented there but didn’t stay there. It just didn’t seem safe to stay there, not for myself or my rental.

Right next to LAX with easy bus transfers
Pros:

Nice hotel for a one night layover. I requested and received a garden view room. Receptionist was pleasant. Doesn't look like much on the outside, but my room was clean and good. I was able to walk or take the bus to LAX Metro Center where you can catch a bus to terminals. Bus stops near hotel. You will see and hear jets landing nearby. You may want to bring earplugs if youre a light sleeper. Overall, i was quite satisfied.

Think twice about a good deal
Pros:

Super noisy because of traffic and airplane flying overhead. Also seedy part of town and management tried to break into my room at 830am it was scary cannot recommend

Pros:

It's in front of Rental Car Office Terminal with a free shuttle circulating. I found a few Lime and Bird scooters to travel to get food within two blocks radius for 4 USD each way instead of 30 USD Uber each way.

Pros:

As a solo female traveller I came to LA for 2 nights to attend a concert and this place was perfect!! You can take the Hertz/Thrifty car rental shuttle and just walk from there, it’s only 5-10 mins of a walk. The place is very quiet- you can hear planes passing overhead but it didn’t bother me. Staff were so kind, the room was clean and tidy, I definitely would stay here again. Thank you!!

Pros:

Budget friendly. Not luxury, but if traveling in a budget it gets the job done. Close to LAX and car rentals. Lots of restaurants in the area and a Greek restaurant right next door. Airplane noise gets some getting used to, but when by the aurport its to be expected.

Pros:

I was underneath LAX and the room had a toxic smell inside the room composed of cigarette smoke and airplane exhaust. Upon entering the room the smell was so overwhelming that I tried to cancel reservation. It was not allowed. But I became so violently ill that I decided to forgo My last two days and I checked out two day early even though tgey refused any type of refund. My Son had a one day reservation at the same location and although he had paid and did not receive a refund, he found the overall accommodation so poor, that He never picked uo His key and We both left the same day. It was a horrible and sickening experience.
