A clean room, a little noisy if you are not on the top floor but a few footsteps above didn't bother me. Breakfast nook is cramped but a continental breakfast that can be brought to your room, whic I prefer anyway. Who wants to eat breakfast with strangers? There's a great little taco stand a few blocks to the south, try them. Best Western has great value for me, I know I can depend on them for a clean, comfortable room. Make sure you join their rewards club if you travel frequentl, they also have some great deals when you cash in the points. I work for the goveernment as an auditor and this has developed into the onlyperk I have for being out of town 6 months of the year.

Nothing glamourous about it. Our room was small and stuffy, with one bed and a sleeper couch. Small bathroom. No closet. No movies. Breakfast included waffles, packaged pastries, yogurt, cereal, juice, coffee, and fruit. You will need to eat in your room. Very limited breakfast seating. Parking is free and easy. Hotel is easy to find. Staff was very friendly. Oh, and cheap rates. Cheapest in the area for what you get.

It's a straight shot to the South Bay beaches without paying beach hotel rates. There is a large mall nearby and many restaurants. Not within walking distance though. You will need a car. You will always need a car when visiting L.A.

If you want to tour downtown, you should probably stay somewhere closer to LAX, or North of LAX. This is a good cheap stop if you arrive at LAX late in the day and you are on your way to the South Bay beaches (Redondo, Manhattan, Hermosa), or Long Beach.
