Hotel is fine...check in is very quick and effiecient..room is very large and bathroom is fine..all is very clean.
The restaurant is a little pricey for what it is...
only problem was shuttle service --we waited a good 25 minutes which is not ideal after 12 hours on a plane...
would suggest

This is my idea of the perfect business hotel. The staff is so helpful, good location, free wireless, decent food, comfortable room. This will be my go-to place in LA. I was most impressed that they offered to pick me up at the car rental nearby--saved me a ton of time and bother. The food in the Bistro is unexpectedly good. Room was spacious. Every service was speedy and helpful. The management of this property should be proud--it advances the brand.

Nice staff that gave us a different room so we could get an early check in
Big room with comfortable beds to sleep of the long flight bad rest. Nicer amenities would be appreciated but the ones provided worked well.
The valet parking is not an option if you have a car but works pretty well especially when tired.
No food was included in our rate but there is a coffee bar and snacks to buy near the front desk

I have stayed here twice for early morning flights. The property looks like most other city center Courtyards so it doesn't feel like a dumpy hotel near the airport. The best thing about it is that it's as close to the airport as one can get and it is the last shuttle pickup before entering the airport. It's also a 5-10 minute walk from Terminal 1, if you are traveling light and care for the exercise.

If you're staying here beyond just an overnight layover, there's a trolley that takes you to El Segundo and Manhattan Beach. It's free if you're staying at just about any hotel along the Century Blvd corridor. I haven't taken advantage of it, as it stops running at 9pm, but that's certainly a nice perk since the area around Century Blvd is a bit a wasteland.
