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.
