Hampton Inn Los Angeles Int’l Airport Hawthorne

Great rooms, gated and reserved parking garage, great location, very clean, great beds, amazing breakfast, but the only reason why I am giving this hotel 4 stars is because when I checked in May 5^th the lady’s in the front seem to not have liked their position. Attitudes were poor but if you just ignore the unpleasant front desk lady’s then you’ll be okay.

Spent one night here and was neither impressed nor unimpressed. Check-​in was quick and easy though the front desk staff was not welcoming at all (same with check out). Parking is via a secured but free garage. The neighborhood isn’t the best nor the worst, however I wouldn’t go out walking at night for no reason.
My room was large but very basic. The TV was on the smaller side, and here’s the odd thing… no ESPN. I’ve never seen a hotel in this country not have ESPN, and on Kobe’s last game night that made me a bit angry.
Luckily, I was able to watch on my computer via decently fast WiFI. I didn’t get a chance to grab breakfast but it looked like your standard Hampton breakfast.
I would return for a night, but probably not any more than that.

After a bad Airbnb experience, cockroaches, we found this Hampton at a reasonable price. I was so relieved!
The room was spacious. The bathroom was equally as big. There was a fridge and microwave.
The beds were firm and the pillows were soft. The pillows may have been a little too soft because all the feathers moved away from my head leaving me feeling as if my head were right on the mattress.
The bathroom had nice lighting. The vanity was a bit too small to fit toiletries for a family of four. There were 4 towels, which was nice. But one towel looked dirty and had hair on it. This was the downfall of our stay. Then we noticed the sticky spots on the carpet.
The breakfast was good! I had oatmeal with raisins and brown sugar, a cheese omelet, juice, good oranges and a little Danish. I left full and ready to take on the day!

Nice hotel with shuttle that is shared with about three other hotels located on the same street. This hotel has several great amenities for a reasonable price. The parking, which is in a private gated lot is nice due to no extra fees. The breakfast area was packed every morning during my stay, but hey what do you expect? The options ranged from cereal all the way to a Belgian waffle. The room itself was clean, but the fridge was extremely loud while cooling down, but it all became white noise after awhile.
The shuttle was a bit unorganized. I stood at the shuttle stand for 10 minutes prior to departure, and a shuttle bus was parked with a driver right by the Gazebo, but didn’t have his doors open, so I figured he might be on his break. Another shuttle pulls up behind him and the first shuttle takes off. The second shuttle opens its door and lets people out, and once everyone has exited I try to enter. At that point I am told by the driver I just missed my shuttle and that the first shuttle was supposed to take me. This frustrated me, because I was there in advance standing next to the shuttle with my bags and the driver never opened the door. Thankfully the second driver called the first guy back and I was able to make it to the airport.
To sum it up if you plan to take the shuttle let the driver know you are there for a ride, because merely standing with your bags at the designated area is not enough.

Room smelled like old smoke covered by older perfume. The floor was as crunchy as it was sticky.

For Valentine’s Day weekend, my wife let me pick the hotel. She was kind of concerned about what I picked but when we arrived she was very happy with my decision. Great stay, great rooms, great staff, great breakfast and great Valentine’s Day weekend. Thank you very much and I would definitely recommend this hotel to any travelers.

Outstanding service from Luis and Gardenia at the front desk, and the, p, m. shift shuttle drivers are exemplary.
Bright, clean, comfortable room and bed (there ARE blackout curtains), free secured parking, Wi-​Fi, and an enclosed high speed business center are major pluses. We faced the Imperial Highway (its a major city street at this location) and were not bothered by road or plane noise.
Mobility issues: decorative concrete work in the driveway resembling platter sized coins (like the Giants Causeway in Ireland) make moving wheelchairs and walkers difficult, so drop your party at the door. King size rooms (not the suites, the standard rooms) are generously sized and can accommodate a wheelchair and a walker at the same time quite easily. Bathroom is oversized and easy to negotiate in the chair. Easy and wide entrance to the room, luggage carts available. Breakfast area is accessible for the chairs, and parking is close.
Only negatives were a loud squeaky door which took 3 days to correct, and the drainage system is off in room 329. The water from the roll in wheelchair shower splashes from the shower onto the bathroom floor, but the gym drain isn’t sloped correctly, so you need extra bathmats and towels to clear the water from the floor of the bathroom. Plenty of hot water, good water pressure, and dual heads in the roll in shower, one is hand held.
Fast food restaurants adjacent, walking might be dicey at night. Within a mile in straight lines are mid range dining and drug stores.

We checked in for 1 night and woke up with bed bugs crawling on top of us! Several bedbugs were on our arms and legs. Now we have to get rid of our clothes. For the sake of your health don’t ever stay here!!!

Yes, the neighborhood is ghetto. It’s a very nice & clean hotel the beds are extremely uncomfortable (very hard). I got no sleep as I was tossing and turning all night with aches and pains. I don’t think I have ever slept in a bed that was worse. And I’m no bed snob. On top of that’s they don’t really have blinds. It’s just a white sheer fabric which covers the window. I think the hotel across could see me in the window changing. It wasn’t that big of a deal until it was bedtime and you have the lights from town in your window ALL NIGHT LONG! A good price but not worth it. I could have slept more comfortable in my car with lights shining in.
Although the neighborhood seems ghetto, the hotel itself it’s secure and feels safe. Loved the indoor pool & spa. Cars are safe as its in a locked 3 story parking garage

I checked into my room and found it very cozy nice and clean… mattress and sheets are way softer and more comfortable than those of holiday inn hotels… staff was professional and the breakfast was up to par for a hotel standard. Loved it and great sleep experience overall!

This is one of the best Hampton Inns I have visited. Staff is personal and engaging and the property is clean and very attractive. Will stay here again!

This place was great to stay in. The room was spotless and so clean! Bathroom was perfect. The beds were clean and comfy! I would come back here again for sure. They also have breakfast included with many choices to choose from. There’s no parking outside but they have a gated garage. This hotel is also close to Mcdonald’s in case you want a late snack. The people that works here are also very friendly and very nice.
The pool is indoor, so it’s perfect if you don’t want to get dark…:)

Well… as another reviewer said recently, this is a nice, newer hotel in a bad area.
Ghetto, actually, and not a place I’d feel safe walking around. I drove a few miles away for dinner… The parking deck is semi-​secure at least, with bars over every single opening. I have to wonder how bad crime was around here, before the hotel opened?
Anyway, I was surprised in a newer hotel to find that one of the elevators is out. But the staff were efficient, and it’s fairly close to LAX at a good price.

Blessings & Namaste Unilocalers,
I had the pleasure of staying at the Hampton Inn LAX overnight on February 28^th, 2015 due to a turnaround business trip. What was really appealing from the beginning was the newness and maintenance of the exterior as well as the interior of the property. The staff was pleasant and check in had to be the least challenging out of all the hotels i’ve ever stayed in. Literally, it took less than 2 minutes to receive my keys and head to my room because all of my information had been received prior to my stay electronically.
There was ample parking in a secure garage, and plenty of eating spots close to the hotel (if you like fast food). My room was absolutely wonderful with modern décor and appliances. It smelled clean, the linens were crisp and white, mattress and pillows were both new and comfortable, and a major plus was that the carpet was spotless.
I gave this hotel a 4 because with all the great things that was present there also was a couple things that were concerning such as: the area was very busy with people who may or may not be guest of the hotel. People were just hanging out in the garage loitering like it was a park or bar which caused alarm for me. And the neighborhood was not the greatest so the hotel kind of stood out like a sore thumb. which if you’re a tourist or a business traveler can be uncomfortable.
Other than that, a hot breakfast is served in the morning with a great variety of eats, and it only took less than 15 min. to get to the ocean for a quick meditation before heading back home.
Good stay with a good price tag is what the Hampton Inn provided me with. It was well worth my dollars & cents
Love, light & blessings

Can you say ghetto area, but a nice hotel in the Inglewatts area and close to LAX. Secure parking, although don’t forget your garage code to get in, sketchy neighborhood, don’t go out alone after 6:00 PM. Rooms are clean and lobby is small, one elevator not working, so bummer for the long wait if you are on the 3^rd floor or above, ATM and soda machine not working, so you’ll have to hoof it to the liquor store next door, take the security guard with you though.

As a Hilton honors member, I stay at many Hampton inns across the country. This was bar far one of the scariest Hampton Inns I have ever stayed at. The airport area is not known for being safe and I should have remembered that when I was booking this trip. The garage for cars is located right next to the hotel with super secure gates. First pull up to the front and check in. Remember to lock your doors or have someone stay inside the car. Since it is a hassle to get your stuff from the garage to your room, your best bet is to unload your items from your car after you check in and bring the items up to your room. Then go park your car in the garage. My boyfriend and I arrived around 8pm and the receptionist at this time was not very friendly and seemed to be quite annoyed. Don’t ask questions like «can i add points to my honors account» or she will get even more annoyed. Usually Hampton inn receptionists are soooo friendly but this one apparently did not get the good training. This place gets 2 starts since it is an updated and clean hotel and its location to the airport is ideal.

Great hotel in a not so great neighborhood! It is fairly close to the airport. There is a gated garage to park your car in right next to the hotel. The best part of my stay was how friendly and helpful the staff where when I checked in, needed a razor that I had forgotten to pack, and when me and my coworkers asked for a restaurant recommendation.
The bathroom is big with a nice tiled shower. The toiletries are Neutrogena. The bed is plush. The set up of the room is a little odd, with the bed facing a window. The TV is a flat screen, but small and in the corner of the room. A nice addition was the bench at the end of the bed.
The complimentary breakfast was tasty. You can make your own waffles (I love that), there are a few hot items: bacon and eggs, and the usual cereal, yogurt, etc.

I really liked their rooms a lot in this one surprisingly. Its clean, comfortable, and modern. The bathroom is nice and big and the rooms had high ceilings. I’d recommend it if you’re sticking around the area. Can’t beat free WiFi and breakfast too!
The only thing is that my view was a wall, but we didn’t stay for a nice view. Just a bed and bathroom, and was satisfied with what we got. Yay.
And if you don’t feel comfortable in the area, theres a gated parking lot for your car.

This hotel ROCKED! Absolutely the best Hampton Inn I’ve ever visited. My husband questioned if we were the first visitors to ever stay in our particular room… it was immaculately clean!
Pros:
*Super Comfortable Bed
*Clean Room — I went barefoot without my «hotel sandals» which is RARE for me
*Huge Bathroom & Excellent Shower
*Many Outlets in the Room including Lamp Base on Nightstands
*Far Enough from LAX to Not Hear Plane Sounds All Night
*Free Shuttle to LAX Airport
Cons:
*Not Located in a Great Area of Town
*Only Two Bath Towels Available in my Room (it’s nice to have extra just in case)
*Free Breakfast To-​Go Bags we were told about weren’t out & ready at 6 a.m. (these are meant for guests with early flights that can’t stay to eat breakfast in the lobby)
Please note that the airport shuttle departs across the street from the hotel entrance right by a yellow curb. It’s really only a few steps from the lobby.

Brand new hotel located in «colorful» area of LA. Yes, it’s right by LAX and yes, it’s right off of the freeway. Oh and it IS about 15 minutes to the beach. But, just keep in mind that it will have its shortcomings for awhile as a new hotel AND the location.
OVERALL: Affordable and clean place for a short visit but just take note of the spotty cleanliness of the sheets and towels, parking, weak water pressure, spotty WIFI, and laundry hours.
The hotel seems fully booked often so call ahead and make reservations. Front desk staff are not going to be helpful with touristy questions so don’t bother. Housekeeping are pretty efficient but need to be a bit more detail oriented and thorough with their cleaning processes. We found hairs on our clean bed sheets and on one of the clean bath towels. Fridges and microwaves in each room with high vaulted ceilings are always nice adds. The windows in each room also open a tad so you can get some fresh air. The water pressure is super horrible and the front desk staff are pretty forthcoming about that. Apparently that is one of the things they are working on.
Parking is secure with a code required for entry but it is rather dark and there are no security cameras. Since it is used by 2 other neighboring hotels, it gets full quickly. The dark roof level is pretty open but doesn’t seem the safest. There are no elevators throughout the parking facility either so good luck if you have a lot of stuff to lug into the hotel.
Generally, the hotel seemed quiet throughout. Can’t comment on the indoor pool area. Business center has 2 computers with printers for use by hotel guests. WIFI in each room accessible at no charge but as others have commented, we experienced a lot of drop offs/​disconnections.
Different hot and cold foods, variety of juices, milks, and coffee were offered during the breakfast buffet. Not the same menu every day. I’d say this was one of the best parts of the visit. The lobby where you enjoy the breakfast buffet was clean and comfy.
Laundry — be sure to check with the front desk a couple different times to confirm when they are open. We called and provided wrong information. The hotel guest book in each room also states the incorrect time so suggest you don’t rely on that information.
Recommendation: Should be on the short list of considerations but enough issues that it’s not a slam dunk.
