This place is my choice at LAX every time. The service and rooms are only just about O.K, but it is a little quieter and more intimate than most other hotels in the area.
Transportation is good with the shuttle, but there is really very little within walking distance of the hotel, so you will have to be content with what they offer you for dining/drinking. (Other hotels being the only real alternatives)
U/G shouldn't be a problem, but you may have to ask and smile sweetly, they don't seem to do it automatically for me.
