E-Central Downtown Los Angeles Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Check in was at 3pm and a room wasn't available until 5pm. But everything else was a 10 out 10!"

Sonesta Los Angeles Airport LAX

10/10 Excellent

"Great place to stay before getting on a plane. Shuttle service to the airport and it was close to the parking garage where we left the car. There are a couple of fast food restaurants within a 10 minute walk like subway , Starbucks, and a Carl’s Jr. other than that you are stuck with in-house dining or one of the adjacent hotels restaurants."
