Top California Hotel Reviews

Hilton Los Angeles Airport

10/10 Excellent

"Everything"

Hilton Garden Inn LAX Los Angeles Airport

8/10 Good

"Nice property and good location from SoFi stadium, we came for a concert. Quiet rooms even for being so close to airport and on the main street side of the building. I will say that it took 3 calls and a visit to the front desk just to get clean towels, the staff never once cleaned the room or changed towels, removed trash etc, that's really the only downside."

Holiday Inn Los Angeles - LAX Airport by IHG

8/10 Good

"The hotel has a convenient location, but it could def. use a face lift. Due to location of LAX and a lot of concert goers nearby, there must be a huge turnover...which shows w/ the wear and tear around the property and in the room. Again, some upgrades and refreshing would go a long way. Staff was helpful w/ helpful w/ everything and the breakfast was adequate. Parking felt safe and easy."
