MdR is not a bad hotel in any way, just not someplace a holiday-maker should seek out.
Marina del Rey is also convenient to LAX, albeit the RC does not provide complimentary airport transportation. It's a very attractive alternative, along with Shutters and other hotels in Santa Monica, to the dismal choices on Century Blvd.
