Guest sentiment

  • Cleanliness8.2

    Generally described as modern and clean (multiple mentions). A few reports of gritty sheets and an initial cigarette smell in one room lowered this slightly.

  • Service6.0

    Repeated negative comments about check-in staff being rude or unhelpful, long waits and an overbooking incident; these service issues meaningfully dragged this category down.

  • Location9.8

    Consistently praised for being right by LAX with frequent free shuttle service; excellent choice for short stays near the airport.

  • Room Quality8.8

    Rooms described as practical, spacious and comfortable with large bathrooms and good showers. Some guests noted overly soft beds or occasional bedding issues.

  • Amenities9.0

    Good on-site amenities reported (free airport transfer/shuttle, pool, gym, late check-out availability). Minor complaints about very cold AC in hallways/fitness room.

  • Value for Money6.0

    Mixed to negative: some guests felt value was good, but multiple significant complaints about undisclosed destination/resort fees, large security deposits and price discrepancies reduced perceived value.

  • Food and Beverage8.1

    Standard quality for this hotel tier (not specifically discussed in reviews).

  • Overall Experience8.9

    Overall positive comments about comfort, modern facilities and convenience for airport stays, tempered by service-related problems and unexpected fees; many guests still recommend or would return.

Guest reviews

LAX is a five-minute drive from the hotel, the hotel's shuttle bus service is very good, picking us up and dropping us off between LAX and the hotel. And assisting with luggage

the doubt about parking made us lower the level 60 euros for a parking space even though we found out it wasn't like that, we paid about 25 euros for the day without entering and leaving the parking lot a few days later they told us it wasn't possible when the monitor showed something else, so we felt bad, we had to find another parking space, a terrible experience, they practically took advantage of us to make us pay more

Sara · 8/10

The floor was dirty, the windows were dirty, and there were ants in our room. However, the free shuttle was nice, it's close to many things, and the staff was friendly

Early check-in option was great (although expensive). Room was clean and comfortable. Shuttle service was convenient. The cafe was nice

The pool area needs an update. There is minimal shade, and it felt somewhat dirty
