Days Inn Airport Center Los Angeles

Our return to the USA after a little more than 10 years began with touching down at LAX Los Angeles International Airport and we spent the evening and night at Days Inn LAX. You call for the complimentary pick up after you arrive - it took some 30-40 minutes which caused anxiety and we called twice in the end.

This is - I think- the cheapest option for LAX airport hotels from my web trawl through the usual motels (motel6.com, super8.com, etc) about US$70+tax.

Unique Quality: There is a rather uninispiring Mexican restaurant on site, and it is adjacent to an Arby's restaurant, with others, including Denny's, about 10-15 minutes walk along West Manchester. There is a store just across the road to buy soft drinks or snacks, fridge and microwave in the rooms.

This was OK I will push and give it 4 from 5 just because if you are on a budget it is inerxpensive - and as well as airport pick up, they dropped us off at Hertz car hire office (which is very near) so saves you on cabs. But I don't really see it as 5 "sunbursts", the Days Inn kind of self regulated star rating

Tea/ coffee orange and pastries complimentary in the morning

For the tourist though - it is only a one night shot, stay near Disney, Universal, or whatever you fancy as there is not much out here

Directions: Phone to arrange pick up from international arrivals at LAX
