Hilton Los Angeles Airport
Good location near airport. Make sure you only get on the Hilton LAX shuttle, not Hilton Garden Inn etc. There were a few people confused by this. They have a shop, bar, restaurant and cafe on site, though expect to be nickled and dimed. Dennys and Carls Jnr within a few mins walk.
