I'll start by saying I've stayed at this hotel many times before and it was fine. On this trip, so many things went wrong I lost count. Cold coffee at breakfast. Room service forgot to put in my order and I waited almosy 1.5 hours (and then the order was wrong). Even though the room was pre-paid through hotwire, they charged my AMEX anyway. And the funny part: "ladies of the evening" out front and one or two at the bar. This is nothing new and part of having a hotel on Century Blvd. The first night, we awoke to a repeated banging in the hallway. I finally had enough, slipped out in the hallway and found a night maid stripping beds and slamming the doors against the security bar to keep them from latching. A few other guests stuck there heads out and yelled as well. But the real clincher was the fire alarms going off one floor below most of the next night. The hotel security would then make announcements through the P.A. with a speaker in the room---scared the h*^% out of us at 0200. And 0300. And 0600.
The upside? It was cheap---like 70 bucks or something on Hotwire. And the staff are friendly, the beds very comfortable. But I'll probably go back to the Sheraton or Hilton at LAX. There comes a point where "cheap" only goes so far.....
