Motel 6 Los Angeles, CA - Los Angeles - LAX

This hotel, despite being called a motel, isn't your typical two-story, open-air kind of place. It's about a 10-15 minute drive from the airport, depending on traffic. The hotel shuttle runs once an hour. There are some restaurants diagonally across the street, including a Panda Express, though you probably wouldn't go there to eat. Parking is $16 a night, but I couldn't figure out how to leave the lot without paying each time I exited. The hotel doesn't have a restaurant. The room was very basic, though it looked decent in photos. There was no shower gel, and no hairdryer either. I ended up having to use a bar of laundry soap I found while half-naked in the shower – just had to make do. The air conditioning was even worse; it could only be adjusted up to a maximum of 76 degrees. I woke up freezing in the middle of the night because the blanket was so thin. Absolutely speechless. Oh, and there's a busy road right outside the window, so it was noisy with cars constantly driving by. Barely slept a wink. It's past 2 AM now.

The hygiene was great, and it's conveniently located near the airport. However, there's no airport shuttle service from 12 PM to 2:30 PM. I waited in the cold for over two hours, making several calls, and the front desk just kept saying it would be there 'any minute now.' I later found out they actually take a break and don't run the shuttle during lunchtime.
