Hilton Los Angeles Airport

Hilton Los Angeles Airport

8/10 Good
"This is a very nice hotel near LAX airport. I live locally in Ontario, and I stayed there two nights for a church prayer summit and revival so I would not have to drive back and forth. The room was very clean, well maintained, and spacious. The bed was comfortable and I slept well both nights. The only odd thing about the room was the size of bathroom. It was very compact compared to the size of the room. When you opened the door, there was only two feet of space between the door and the toilet. Expedia provided an affordable rate for the two-night stay. However, self-parking in the underground garage was an extra $74 per night. Additionally, the on-site cafe and restaurant prices were very expensive. For the rate I paid, I expected free in-room Wi-Fi, but it was an extra charge of $12 per night. They advertised free Wi-Fi in some public spaces, but I was unable to access it. Overall, the stay was pleasant. I gave it four stars because the expensive parking cost and the lack of free in-room Wi-Fi."
