“Impressed by excellent service... A couple of tips”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 12 February 2012
6
people found this review helpful

We stayed here twice going to and from Fiji based on convenience to LAX, a discounted price, and Trip Advisor reviews (how did we ever manage without them?!). We actually considered staying closer to Santa Monica to do some sightseeing during our layover, but are we ever glad we didn't!

Amazing Service:

The front desk staff was kind enough to allow us to store a couple of small items (GPS, LA guidebook, and other things we didn't need in Fiji) in a safety deposit box for the 3 weeks between stays (very helpful when you are worried about luggage weight limitations for inter-island flights). When our return flight was cancelled then delayed 17 hours (meaning we would not arrive in LA until 8am), we called the front desk to change our reservation to "day-use". Since the hotel was full, they could not guarantee a day-use room would be available, and it was past the cancellation cut-off time (meaning we would be charged for the night), so they granted us a 3pm late check-out to ensure we could get some needed sleep after our 11-hour flight. The bellman put a special tag on my freshly-woven palm frond basket so it wouldn't get crushed in the luggage room. We were also allowed to use the internet and printer at the business center free of charge after check-out.

Rooms:

Clean, comfortable, and quiet despite proximity to LAX... We had no trouble sleeping during both our nighttime and daytime stays.

Location:

There is not much in the area other than airport hotels, parking lots, and rental car outlets; however, LA's main freeways are easily accessible, and a public transit hub is close by (a 5 minute walk). We took the Big Blue Bus to Venice Beach and Santa Monica (1 hour each direction for only a buck each way!).

Cheap food alternative:

Rather than eat at the hotel restaurant, we walked to In 'N Out Burger (15 minutes)... Delicious!

Parking Tip:

Avoid paying for valet parking by using the airport parking lot behind the hotel on Avion between 96th & 98th (Sheraton guests pay only $10-13 per day with in & out privileges).

“Very satisfactory for an airport hotel”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 9 February 2012
1
person found this review helpful

We ended up staying here twice - once on arrival at our expense and then for two nights on departure at British Airways'. For an airport hotel it is fine - convenient with a quick shuttle bus, comfortable, good staff, good bar and adequate restaurants (the Brasserie is a bit gloomy), there is a reasonable pool, which would have been good if the weather had been fine,

Staying here for more than a night or two is a bit like appearing in 'Lost in Translation' with not much to do. There is a shuttle which goes to Manhatten Beach. A local mall Is about three miles. If you want to go downtown you can take the shuttle to LAX and then the Flyaway bus to downtown.

For one night as an airport hotel, however, it is very adequate. Although I did find out that your SPG gold privileges do not apply when someone else pays!

“Good service but tired hotel”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 8 February 2012

Service makes up for much.

The front desk staff works really hard to make sure that people feel welcomed and well served. The lobby is nice and there is very convenient free shuttle service to LAX.

It is clear that this hotel has been around for a while. Although they have kept up with all the changes that Sheraton requires, greater investment is needed to get the hotel to where it should be. For example, the light shade in the room had been torn and would not sit properly on the light. In trying to adjust it, I noticed that several other people had tried to do this and there where many holes in it where others had tried to make it work. This is a small thing, but it points to a lack of care.

The rooms seemed clean and the beds were comfortable.

I would return because of the service and the access to LAX.

“Good value for hotel near LAX”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 7 February 2012

person found this review helpful

I think this could’ve been one of the nearest hotels to LAX, it took us less than 5 minutes by free shuttle from the United terminal (terminal 7). Great location for a layover. Albeit an old hotel, the room was recently renovated, clean and cozy. There’s a Starbucks on the ground floor. One downside was that they didn’t give out free bottled water.

“BEST hotel on the LA airport perimeter. Always clean AND quiet.”

Hotel is located on the perimeter of LAX. No need to rent a car, hotel provides free shuttle. Hotel is always clean, starbucks in the lobby, bar, great restaurant called called Paparazzi. Rooms have been upgraded, very comfortable beds. We prefer to stay at the Sheraton Gateway as opposed to it's neighbor the Crowne Plaza. The Crowne is in desperate need of a face lift.

You will not be disappointed if staying at the Sheraton. If you travel through LA frequently, then this is the hotel for you.
