Sonesta Select Los Angeles LAX El Segundo

I did not call the front desk for help with getting online because it was after midnight and I'd just traveled 2 days and was exhausted at the moment. The place was very clean and quiet, the bed was comfortable. We slept well.

Having stayed at this hotel multiple times (approximately 25 nights in 5 years) I can honestly say the latest change removes it from my default list. The pay for parking was always suspect, and has steadily gone up, but now that it's been outsourced to a third party requiring the guest to click a QR code and manage it SUCKS! Not only is it $35 a day, plus a 7% fee and a $0.30 transaction charge, a open spot isn't guaranteed. (In town during World Cup, unfortunately.) It seems their core business is lazy profiteering from parking and less on making guests stay easy and hassle free. The property is tired and not changed in the 5 years. Too bad I've bookended my trip (prepaid) staying at this parking lot with a hotel attached or I would not, and will NOT, stay here again.

Exactly what I needed for an early flight out of LAX. Shuttle was appreciated

I stayed here for two nights. The staff was friendly the hotel was at a good location very quiet and clean area. I loved the lobby with a nice bar and the area to relax sit on the couch and unwind and play table games. I thought that was pretty nice. I’ll be staying here again if I travel to LA again.

The Starbucks didn’t open until 7am - which was pointless , the front desk wasn’t very overly generous but for some reason the bar tender was … instead of taking the trash out In The lobby (which was overflowing) the front desk lady texted instead . Rooms were okay , leftover light smells … it wasn’t the Hilton / or the ritz Carlton … that’s for sure but it got the job done . And for the price 200 a night …. Absolutely could’ve been better

They want to charge you for any extra, from parking to early chcek-in. Be careful booking with them.

The room and the hotel overall was clean and comfortable. Our staff interaction was pretty limited and went from a front desk person seemingly not interested in talking to us like maybe they were getting offshift in a few minutes to later a person being very friendly and helpful. The food area was crazy. There is what I thought just a Starbucks coffee counter but turned out to be the entire food and drink service area for the hotel. When I went to get a cup of coffee there was only one person working a long line of people ordering full breakfasts and multiple drink orders. She was taking orders, making coffee, and preparing full breakfasts all on her own. The line didn't move for 20 minutes so I just left. Overall the place is decent. A good amount of places to sit in the lobby and outside by the pool. The location is sort of behind LAX and pretty industrial. We needed a place to stay for a couple nights that wasn't too far away from our weekend venues and this was a little more affordable. Not a "destination" hotel but good enough.

Good stay

My stay was great. Polite staff and clean room are all I need!

I am not sure why I was placed in a handicap room throughout my stay. I had to ask for towels daily and the toilet was interesting as it didn't flush enough to self-clean. My initial say it was brough me back but not sure if I will return. I do believe they can do much better. Staff was pleasant as always. Parking is always great and close to LAX. Breakfast was included as I was initially able to order water but the third day the assistant working the counter told me my breakfast did not include water only juice which made no sense.

We were not informed of the breakfast location and didn't use that service.
