Hilton Los Angeles Airport
Very nice comfortable room. Check in took quite a while. The shuttle is awful! They won't give any kind of time. They just say 15-30 minutes.

It was clean and staff were nice and the security guards on shift made sure it was safe. Sadly the area did definitely have some weird folk around. I left around 8 am and some woman from across the street was just yelling. But that’s not the hotels fault. The hotel did a great job.

The Westin Bonaventure Hotel and Suites, Los Angeles
Overall stay was good. A little outdated but room was clean. The bathroom showerhead doesn't get all the water no matter how hard the lever below is pulled up, sharing the water with the bathtub faucet. The bathtub water drains very slow.

DoubleTree by Hilton LAX - El Segundo
The water temperature in the showers needs to be adjusted to a higher level.

We called a taxi because we have waited one hour at the airport and didn't have any shuttle.
