Sonesta Los Angeles Airport LAX

5 out of 5

Posted 18 hours ago

Travelocity Verified Review

"We love what Sonesta has done to upgrade their LAX hotel in the last year! In particular, the LVP flooring in the guest rooms was great for my allergy sensitive companions. The new couches were such a welcome, homey addition. Everything looked new, modern, clean and well-taken care of. I greatly missed the infused water dispenser that previously refreshed guests at the front desk for decades. The upgraded showers are nice and modern. But I do miss the option of privacy with a shower curtain. My companion and I were assigned neighboring rooms which was a perfect set-up for us. Thanks very much for another delightful visit!"

Travelocity Verified Review

"The Huntley far exceeded my expectations. We booked our room day of as we had kept part of our La trip fluid, and the value for what we paid was exceptional. The lobby is peaceful and welcoming (and smelled so good!). Check in was easy and quick. Our room was perfect for our family of 4 and had a gorgeous view (upgrade $ was worth it). We had dinner in the penthouse restaurant and it was lovely - complete with a jazz singer and piano. The beds were very comfy and room was quiet. They have bikes you can borrow and you are a block from the beach. There are shops and restaurants within a 10 min walk. Wish we could have stayed a couple more nights and we will return next time we’re in the area. "

Sheraton Universal Hotel

Travelocity Verified Review

"As we drove up to the entrance we were warmly greeted by the valet. He helped us u load the car and the bellman was right there ready to take our bags up to the room. Check in was easy and fast, and the staff at the desk were warm and friendly, letting us know how happy they were to have us. First impressions of the room it was clean nicely decorated, and I love the bathroom. The water was hot and lasted that way for everybody who stayed in the room. It smelled great and the linens were clean every single time we left to go somewhere somebody was right there to tell us have a good day or to help us get our car. I come to Universal at least once every year and I will definitely be staying here again."
