My husband stayed here for one night to be close to LAX for a morning flight. We checked in and arrived in our room, which was clean and located on a higher floor. We had dinner in the bar, which service was slow but, we didn't have a lot of choise since we wer advised not to walk around the area, it was too dangerous. We expected some noise from outside the hotel due to the proximity to the airport, however we were very surprised at the internal noise. All night we heard the running water, and other noises we couldn't identify.

We inquired after dinner with the concerige about checking-in at LAX and checking bags when to leave the hotel in the morning. We were advised to check-in online and "bag drop" at the airport with no waiting in line. We left for LAX approx. 1.5 hr prior to departure, and discovered the shuttle was delayed 15-20 minuets and the hotel began to use taxis to transport people to the airport. Upon arrival to LAX, we has to wait in line and almost missed out flight.

I would not recommend this hotel due to the noise factor, and the shuttle problem.

My husband and I booked the Renaissance for the last night of our honeymoon, as our flight from Jamaica came in too late to book a connecting flight back to Seattle. For $99, our expectations were definitely exceeded, and we would recommend this hotel to anyone!

We arrived after 11 p.m., exhausted, and were pleasantly surprised to find out we'd been upgraded to a suite. The suite was huge and shaped like a rectangle. The separate sitting area, desk and old school TV were on one end, but that area was the farther from the window so rather dark. The restroom was in the middle of the suite, along with an empty fridge (no minibar but the sign said they could stock it for you) and a big mirror, good for getting ready while the husband was in the shower the next day. The king size bed was luxurious, and we appreciated the huge flat screen TV in that area of the room. We had a view of the airport and Burger King from our 6th floor room. One odd thing, the room had one bathrobe and one bottle of water, as if it was set up for one traveller even though we'd noted there were two of us on the reservation...but no big deal.

The only slight drawback was speed of service in the lounge. We went down at 11:20 p.m. for a quick bite as we hadn't eaten since 4 p.m., and it took our food (an average club sandwich) 45 minutes to come. There were maybe eight people in the lounge so I'm not sure what the problem was, but the server apologized.

Overall, for the incredible value we would definitely stay here again if we have to fly in/out of LAX. One nice perk, we are Marriott Silver Elite members and they recognized us with a coupon for a free latte in the morning. This was definitely one of the nicer Marriott brand hotels we've stayed in.

We stayed at this hotel for 5 days (joining my wife who had already been there for 3 days). The hotel is very conveniently located for travelers, about half a mile from the airport. It includes free transportation from/to the airport to/from the hotel. Be prepared to pay for parking - about $10 per day. The valet parking is definitely not worth it - unless you like to be pampered. I didn't even check the price.

The location of the hotel was surprisingly good. The airport's proximity had to be seen to be believed - the planes could not be heard at all.

The check-in process was smooth. We had arrived by a late night flight that turned into a very early morning flight - around 2 AM. The staff were courteous, helped get the luggage to our room and we settled in.

The room itself was spacious. It was *not* the suite and yet we could place a rollaway bed in the room and have space left for walking around. The rollaway beds were nice too - not the folfing variety, but a stand-on-end variety that meant that the mattress was no too soft or springy.

The bed itself (important for people with delicate backs) was not the best. I have slept on better beds. The bed (King size) was too springy. I would (almost) gladly have slept on the floor. The rooms were surprisingly well sound proofed.

My wife liked the 2nd floor exercise space - I myself worked out in the room itself (5BX requires surprisingly less space - look it up on Wikipedia), and my kids liked the swimming pool which they used once and even then it was too cold.

On the whole, we had a great time and liked the hotel as a place to access the best things in LA.

WOW, what a hotel. When we made this reservations we figured that an airport hotel would be noisy and dirty... this was neither! This hotel was far enough away from the airport that you didn't realize you were next to it.

The room was fantastic! What a bed! Bathroom was clean and bath products were lovely. Coffee in the room, no breakfast included.

On-site restaruant was expensive, but the food was good.

Concierge give us a great recommendation for breakfast in Manhattan Beach called ??

Front desk staff needs a lot of work. I called to arrange an early check in prior to noon and they were nasty about it being a "first come first serve basis". When I called to cancel the request due to a snow storm, the reiterated that there was no request made and it was first come, first served anyway.

Parking - be prepared to pay $20 to park!

If this is what all Marriott Renaissance are like, we would stay at more! This is a luxury "airport" hotel!
