The former Hacienda Hotel's south tower was rebuilt in 2016 and opened as the Aloft El Segundo.

While most of the decor is familiar to Aloft regulars, the room layout is more like a typical hotel room, lacking the long open bathroom that you're used to seeing at Aloft. My room was a little small by today's standards, and a giant beanbag chair took up a lot of floor space.

I lucked out on the twice-hourly shuttle service and only waited 5 minutes to be picked up from LAX.

The biggest plus for me was the location, south of the airport. Easy walk to Ralphs, Walgreens, In-N-Out (the new one), Starbucks, and plenty of other reasonably priced restaurants. Quiet area with little of the sketchiness you find around the Century Blvd hotels.

A good choice for a comfortable overnight layover.
