I have a 16 hours layover in LAX coming up in July. Am thinking about getting a room at one of the hotels nearby...

Can anyone recommend a hotel with a free shuttle service and onsite restaurant?

Also - what would be the best way to book a hotel? Though priceline or hotewire.com? Or can I actually get a decent rate through expedia.com or orbitz.com or call the hotel directly?

Will appreciate any advice. Thanks.
