I'm traveling with my hubby Jan 16-17th, 1015. Need hotel LAX (with shuttle) cheap as possible.
From Marriott website I came up with:
Renaissance Los Angeles Airport Hotel $129
Courtyard Los Angeles LAX $139
Courtyard Los Angeles El Segundo $129
(BTW, son's employee discount doesn't work on any of these properties or makes the price jump way up!)
I'm not partial to any one brand. I just need the airport shuttle and a nice stay before our cruise. We are presently book at La Quinta LAX for $72.25 ($83.45 total)

Thank you!!!!!!!
I'm not clear what you're looking for. Do you care if breakfast is included or not? If you're eating breakfast at the hotel, the breakfast cost could be different by dozens of dollars between one brand and another. Also, do you have Marriott status?
La Quinta gives free (though not fancy) breakfast to all. Courtyard does not give free breakfast to anyone (not even Marriott Platinum).
Similarly, do you need wifi? That'll be free for all at La Quinta, while paid (for non-elites) at several of the Marriott brands.\
This thread is for for people who specifically want Marriott properties (because of elite status, or because of promos, or whatever reason), but at the lowest rate possible. It's not for finding the lowest across all brands, Marriott or not. That would the Hotel Deals forum probably:

LNF (if you're not familiar with it) is Marriott's "Best Rate Guarantee" program (which they call "Look No Further"). Here's a thread that explains it much further:

There's
another thread that shows LNF successes, and in that thread there was this post the other day, which about the best rate I recall seeing for a Marriott property around LAX recently:

Marriott rate reserved: 99.00 (exclude tax)
Currency: USD
Lower rate found or reserved: 94(exclude tax )
Currency: USD
LNF Rate: $70
(But just because someone found it for that date doesn't guarantee you can find it for your date. But it may be a useful benchmark at least.)
But that's just $2.25 below what you got at La Qunita, so what I said above applies (if you prefer Marriott, that's great, but if you have no status, the Marriott brand will nickel & dime you while La Quinta won't).
