It was definitely not worth the amount of money I paid. The headboards were super dirty. The bathtub didn’t drain properly. It took them 1.5 hours to check the bathtub after I called and they told me they couldn’t do much. The breakfast was completely overpriced. This old hotel is not 4-star quality and I would not stay here next time.

I placed 4 of our employees for 1 night due to a flight delay and received 4 separate emails saying the same exact thing accusing my employees of smoking and that if they found that to be true they would charge them $400 dollars. The email was also asking them to leave the property. It is a bit concerning and sketchy. None of my employees are smokers and I confirmed with each separately.
Stayed 1 night in May 2024
Response from Sonesta LAX on May 7, 2024
Hello, I do apologize about the confusion. The emails are automated messages that are sent to all of our guest that will stay at the hotel, it is just to inform about our non-smoking policy and procedures if guests are found to have smoked in the room.

I need something close to the airport so this is perfect. Shuttle is great and runs very often. Staff is nice and helpful. There isn’t much shopping to do. 3 restaurants inside but I walked to the nearby hotel to get donuts and Starbucks. Close to car rental place which is another reason I picked this hotel

DO NOT STAY AT THIS FACILITY. “Urgent” water maintenance has left patrons without water/bathroom use and no refund issued as well as promptly informing us of an issue until physically at the hotel. My Accommodations also did not match the reservation. Poor management left patrons with water bottles as the lone solution with the hopes that the issue would be rectified by the morning.
