I live less than 10 minutes from DBT & have stayed there to get status. As others said it's fine, especially for the $$. For last month I've been having problems w/ dial-up (and yes I would be on hi-speed if I could; don't go there-long story), so have actually considered checking in on a weekend just to catch up on FT etc etc (and help keep my status of course!). Cheers.

Actually, there are a few eating places within walking distance, though maybe not really close.

This is a very nice hotel. I stayed in early May, I think. Very friendly shuttle driver, room was quite nice. Only issue was shuttle bus to airport not there on time. I had to wait almost 15 minutes after it was supposed to be there. They did offer to get me a taxi at that point, but it just pulled up.
I would stay there more, but lately prices have been higher than the $59 or $69 I got then.

I got the DT LAX for $53 (AAA rate) in May 2003 on an overnight (Saturday) MR. That had to be pre-renovations, and even then it was a good deal for the price. At the time things seemed fairly well maintained; just outdated.

DoubleTree LAX good/bad ?
I cannot see anyone mention DoubleTree LAX, not sure if anyone stay there ? Have a one night stay there this coming friday, I guess no lounge ? just breakfest in the restaurant as a gold right ?
I am actually going to an airline collectible show at Hacienda saturday morning, from the LAX hotel map, it looks like the double tree is kind of close by, how far does it take to walk to Hacienda from doubletree ? Thanks

It is all right. Used to be the Doubletree Club Hotel. Rates have gone up a lot since the renovation. I think as a Gold, you do get breakfast, and of course, the cookies.
It's a short walk. Maybe 10 minutes.

It is less than a mile from Doubletree to the Hacienda.

Yes, you can walk. I doubt it is more than a mile.
I used to stay there a lot, before the rates went ridiculous. The rooms are decent. The breakfast so-so.
Stay at the Hilton Garden Inn instead. Much better. Their breakfast is pretty nice.
