Hilton Garden Inn LAX Los Angeles Airport

Hilton Garden Inn LAX Los Angeles Airport

8/10 Good

"Note that the hotel does not have free parking and the cost to park there is really expensive for $55/day. I had trouble with the parking meter always charging me every time I want to exit even though I already paid at check in for the entirety of my stay."

8/10 Good

"The property was clean and the beds were comfortable. The only issues were the downstairs bathroom was not working, so we had to go up to the 2nd floor to use the restroom upon arrival and the cost of self parking and valet is relatively expensive. Other than that, everything else went well!"

10/10 Excellent

"My stay at the Marriott Bonaventure was excellent! The front desk staff when i checked in were friendly and helpful. We had drinks a late night meal at the Starbucks, which was okay, the food was good, but the person serving us was nice, but also seemed a little frustrated that several customers were arriving so close to closing, but she did accommodate everyone. We asked for extra towels and received them quickly. The young man at the Concierge Desk was nice and friendly when I stopped to ask if I could get my room cleaned. On our last day we needed a late checkout and the response was positive and friendly."
