We have to stay in LA for one day due to terrible airline connection and awful policy in LA airport. So, we found this place is close to airport. The 24X7 shuttle service is convenient so that we can catch up flight at 6 am.

Tight, cramped space,
We had a room with 2 queen beds and it was so tight that 1 side of each bed was against the wall so that the only space to get in or out of the bed was the small space between the two beds. The shower leaked from the knob so bad that the water pressure from the head was poor.

There was a really awful smell on the bed. Like burnt plastic or something. Gave me a massive headache all night. And the bed cover is thin and short and has no warmth. Water pressure is a drizzle on the 7th floor. And the breakfast is okay. The shuttle to the airport is quite convenient tho.
