Top Lake Balboa Hotel Reviews

Loews Hollywood Hotel

8/10 Good

"Decor of the room is outdated"

Hyatt Place LAX/Century Blvd

8/10 Good

"The hotel was wonderful. Clean, very comfortable beds and breakfast had it all. The only issue I had was with the shuttle from the airport. We waited 45 min and the shuttle didn’t come. I called the hotel 2 times and they assured me it was coming (the hotel was 5 min from airport). When we finally got on a different shuttle (needing to pay the driver since it wasn’t our hotel) he said it’s common knowledge the hotel is great but shuttle service is terrible. Something to know if needing that service-especially with small kids like we did. It’s no good waiting on the curve after a long flight for a shuttle that doesn’t show up."

Sheraton Gateway Los Angeles Hotel

8/10 Good

"This hotel is very close to the airport and with their free regular shuttle service is always our choice. Spacious clean rooms in a large hotel with free wifi, luggage storage, pool and spacious rooms. Could be more loungers by the pool as 8 for a hotel this size is insufficient. Also pool is a little dated now. Overall though good hotel and value for money. Love you can get late check outs."
