Overview

The Skyways Hotel offers a budget-friendly option for travellers needing accommodation near LAX airport. Its proximity to the airport is a major plus, with many guests highlighting its convenience for early morning flights. While some reviewers note that the hotel shows its age and could benefit from some modernisation, many praise the friendly and helpful staff. Although the location means some airplane noise is inevitable, many guests found the noise manageable, particularly with the help of earplugs. The hotel's connection to a well-regarded Greek restaurant next door is also a frequently mentioned bonus.

Stayed overnight due to flight delay. Quite cheap, so you get what you psy for. Very basic room, piece of soap and a small shampoo were the only ameniies. In-room coffe set had no carafe. Yard is very nice, with many plants and a cute sitting area. Problem is, the airplanes noise is incessant and rooms ate not insulated.

This is a solid place to stay near the airport at a good price. Don’t expect anything fancy but this hotel has what you need for a night’s stay.

It's a two-star hotel, but it was decent. The staff was very friendly, my room was fine and it has what you need, including a blow dryer, iron and good sized refrigerator and a coffee maker but no microwave. It could use a bit of updating, and the shower above leaked into my bathroom. But I saw no bugs, and even though there were planes above, with my ear plugs and earmuffs I slept grear. To get there, you can take the Hertz shuttle bus from LAX as it's across the street, but you have to walk to the Hertz cars exit and tell them you are going out that way. The exterior of Skyways is nothing fancy. But I think it's worth the money. However, I found a similar price for the LAX Hilton for my final night in LA, So I took that instead for my flying home the next morning stay.

A great location, close to LAX (airport) - although that does mean there is some plane noise both late and night and early morning! There was a Greek restaurant immediately next to the hotel and some other restaurants and convenience stores about a 10-15 min walk away. Check in and check out was easy. The room is showing its age a little and the towels were very thin - but the TV had a good range of channels, the shower was warm, the room had air conditioning and a fridge, there was a small communal patio area and parking was available on site. Overall, very good if you are looking for a budget option near to LAX.

It looks a little sketchy from the outside, but the courtyard inside has beautiful landscaping. It was noisy, but that's to be expected so close to the airport. The room was pretty clean although it was a bit run down with chipped paint and some stains and things. I wouldn't stay there for a vacation, but as a relatively cheap place for the night before a very early flight out, it worked just fine.

I liked staying at Skyways Hotel. It has a great location (10 minutes from LAX) and also close to bus stops so you can go to Santa Monica or other places by bus. You can take the Hertz shuttle from the airport and then you walk 10 minutes, I don't recommend walking if you have more than two bags because the street isn't in the best conditions. A Lift ride from the airport to the Hotel was around 12 dollars for me, it's not much considering you're carrying heavy luggage. Kudos to the greek restaurant next to it! Food is very good but a lil pricey (it's LA after all), I'd recommend to eat there if you need to wait until your room is ready. I recommend this place if you're planning to stay for one night. I must say there's a lot of noise from the planes, but it didn't bother me at all (although I know there's people that dont like it). Thank you Skyways! I'd come back in another ocassion.

Worst hotel yet. One paper cup and two coffee sachets. No sugar, creamer. Right under flight path but that's always a risk. Only bright spot the friendly and helpful young woman who checked me in. Finished with Hotel Club

This is a super convenient location next to LAX. Pro-tip: the hotel is across the street from Hertz/Dollar/Thrifty car rental, so you can take the free Hertz/Dollar/Thrifty shuttle bus from LAX if you are happy to flex the truth. The rooms are typical motel type rooms, fairly basic, but comfortable. For the price don’t expect the Ritz.However, the staff are friendly and helpful. I recommend this hotel for a stopover near LAX.

It was adequate for 1 night. Our flight was at 6 am from lax so we weren’t sleeping long anyway. Planes are super loud coming over the building every 15 ish mins. (With ear plugs) If you need a good rest I would not recommend this hotel Otherwise room was clean, room did the job
