The semi-annual Los Angeles Airliner Expo (LAAX) collectibles shows are held at the Hacienda.  Was just there two weeks ago.

I’ve heard good things about the Furama also (never stayed there, but have stayed at one of their other hotels).  You can get pretty good rates at that place on hotels.com, all-hotels.com, or one of the other discount web sites.

Motel 6 (if they don’t have their own shuttle, a cab won’t cost much)

Response:

Thanks for all the suggestions. After checking the rates, I decided to give Priceline.com a try. I ended up with a room at the Quality Hotel for $35.00. Probably not very quiet, but it will do.  And it also has a shuttle.

If it’s the one on Century Blvd., I’ve stayed there, and found it quite nice.  The building is well soundproofed, and is about 2 miles from the airport, so the shuttle trip is relatively short.

It is a fine place.  Relatives of mine stayed there during a stopover in L.A. on the way from Australia to the Eastern USA.

There is a Culver City Radisson near the Hughes Center where the USAirways and Varig crews stay. (It is not the Airport Radisson, but has a shuttle)

Crowne Plaza, just outside the airport entrance.  Perfectly satisfactory, decent restaurant.

He said "quiet."  The Hacienda is Noise City.  You can hear the roaring takeoffs all night long.

There are dozens of hotels in the LAX area. Dont expect a lot of quiet because they’re close to AN AIRPORT, but many are nice. What’s a reasonable price is entirely up to you. You can easily find a wide choice of hotels in the LAX area by looking on the usual travel related Web sites such as http://www.expedia.com or http://www.travelocity.com and for a specific recommendation, consider the Sheraton near the airport. A friend and I stayed there a few years ago and it was nice and at something like $80 per night, the room rate was affordable to us.

I know several people that like to stay at the Hacienda Hotel when making stopovers in LA.  It might be what you are looking for. I’ve never stayed there, since my company insists on using other chain hotels. http://www.haciendahotel.com/welcome.asp

Response:

The Travelodge on Century is quiet and close to the airport–I think it may have been the first Hyatt House. There is also a Motel 6 high rise on Century–not as highly recommended.

The Furama on Lincoln (N of LAX) should meet your three objectives. Popular with Asian flight and cabin crews.

Response:

Whatever you do don’t waste your money on the LAX Airport Hilton.  (I just stayed there two nights ago).  It’s priced the same or similar to the Gateway Sheraton but is far inferior.  The lobby is great, but the rooms are small, totally outdated in a rattan furniture/ beige color scheme sort of way and not particularly clean.  Also the doors and walls are thin and I didn’t get a very good night’s sleep since I could hear every door opening and closing all night long, and the noise early the next morning was vexing.  Also the toilet clogged up (okay.. don’t even go there with any snide remarks people) and I was aroused promptly at 8:00 a.m. by the cleaning lady who apologized profusely (albeit too late..damage done).  I’d hung a "do not disturb" sign on the doorknob but she either slyly removed it before she knocked or some guest borrowed it for their door after I went to bed. Sheraton Gateway is better (I thought I’d give Hilton a try since they were three dollars cheaper) but I’m not sure what the regular rate for either hotel is because both of them honored a special crew member rate for me.  When I’m working, I stay at the LAX Renaissance which is great, but not inexpensive ($119.00/ night was their crew rate!!)  You might want to also try Sheraton Four Points.  I didn’t think to call them the night I was stranded in LAX but they are located right on Century right next to all the other chains and in Chicago they offer great rates.  Basically, just about any chain you can think of has an LAX property with complimentary shuttle.  I’d just start calling around since their rates vary widely or even better, if you still have time go online and search there… you’re bound to find a better rate online than by calling.  I wouldn’t expect you’d have to pay more than 50 or 60 for a major hotel chain per night as long as you book in advance (i.e. priceline) and aren’t picky which brand it is.  Just pray you don’t get Hilton LAX!! Good luck!
