LAX hotel for very short stay

[Nebr.cruiser]

 

We arrive from Hawaii about 11:30 PM and fly out the next day at 10:45.  Since we will be in a hotel for a very short time, after customs, what would be a good choice?  Just need clean and convenient.  Are there any hotels attached to the airport?  Or any that have 24 hours shuttle service?  Don't want to pay a fortune for probably less than 6 hours.

 

I'd do some more research myself but we are visiting a place with very limited/slow internet.

Flying from Hawaii to LAX doesn't put you in Immigration or Customs...

There are no hotels attached to the airport but lots of them very close with shuttles.   Just check Google maps for LAX Airport Hotels, pick your favorite chain, then call the hotel local number to confirm late shuttle pickup.  We've stayed at the Four Points Sheraton and the Marriott.

Ok, true, forgot about that!

Yeah, that's a tough flight schedule. 

If you're flying in a cabin that gives you access to a lounge with showers & food, that might work out better.   LAX is a bit of a mess right now, & getting to & from the hotel, even with a shuttle might take a bit more time than you realize...  is your luggage checked through or do you have to recheck it?  

[Nebr.cruiser]

Yes, terrible schedule and I do not know if we have to recheck our luggage or not, as Hawaii to LA was scheduled with cruise air, LA to home on our own. 

 

I have checked; apparently lounges close at 12AM.  At this point we are considering just toughing it out in the airport, since even without having to recheck luggage we are looking at less than 6 hours in the hotel, if we are lucky.

 

I am also going to call the cruise air department to see if any other flight can be arranged--a red-eye would be better than this!  Or call airlines to see if we need to recheck.

I'm sure you are right and we will probably try to find a budget type hotel, given the few hours we will be there.  Also hoping for one with a 24 hour shuttle.

[Nebr.cruiser]

We booked a hotel for a good rate that has a 24 hour shuttle and 24 hour desk open.  It can be cancelled until the day before we get there, so if something changes, re Corona virus, flights, etc., we are covered.

 

Not a luxury hotel by any means, but more than good enough for six hours

We have stayed at the Hilton LAX a few times and they do have a 24 hr shuttle.  

[Nebr.cruiser]

We actually booked a La Quinta.  Since I doubt if we will make it to the hotel even by 1 AM, it will do just fine--fly out at 10:45 the next morning.

 

Not Hilton, but ok.  The other alternative was staying at the airport until the flight.  Or, of course, paying a lot more.

I would not stay at the La Quinta LAX for free. Horrid location. Look at the Homewood Suites LAX and Residence Inn LAX.

[Nebr.cruiser]

I'll do that, but it is not that easy to find hotels with 24 hr desks and shuttles.  And, we will probably be there about 6 hours, so we can put up with a few minuses.  Why is the location bad?

The La Quinta is right next to the 405 and where the neighborhood surrounding goes downhill in a hurry. It is also a longish distance, relative to the Homewood Suites and Residence Inn.

 

I am certain any major chain at LAX, Hilton, Marriott etc is going to have a 24 hour desk and shuttle.

[Nebr.cruiser]

Thanks for the information.  La Quinta was the only hotel I could easily find out the shuttle/desk info on, also price was good.  We will probably stay there anyway, giving that we will probably be there only from 1 AM (or later) until 8 AM.  Anything has to be better than the airport.

 

We've been gone, with iffy internet connections.

 

And who knows, the cruise may get cancelled anyway, at this point not counting on anything!
