Comfort Hotel
The Hotel was nice and close to access to the airport. It was clean and secure. But it's not for the business person. No place to set up my laptop and multiple charging items. The beds were on the floor. Parking was valet only and $20.00.

Great Amenties and service (Free Ariport Shuttle was great). Room was small, but bed was great. Close to an In N Out Burger (a must while in LA-double/double animal style-Fries-Shake for two with Cab ride each way-$25-can't beat it-Cab ride was $15). Chelsea was amazing (front desk)!

Finally ... not a chain hotel near the airport
We arrived at around 1am after dropping parents off at the airport. We were staying overnight to attend a show at the Palladium the next day, and just needed to get some sleep. With the exception of the hotel bar/restaurant being closed early ( it was a slow time at the hotel ), the valet parking being $20 instead of the quoted $15 ( they honored the $15 quoted price ) and our room keys not working for entry into the lounge rooms ( We didn't bother fixing because we just wanted to peak our heads in anyway ) everything else was perfect. I loved the rooms, very comfortable and well laid out. The decor and environment/vibe was exactly what I was looking for and the staff was friendly and helpful. Highly recommend Custom Hotel and will stay again if I find myself in need of an LA area hotel.

There is a 24 hour grocery store right next door ( Ralphs I believe ), which is always a great resource when staying in a hotel.

Young couples getaway
this hotel was nice. Has valet parking, but we just found street parking. We stayed at this hotel and went to santa Monica pier. Wasn't to long of a drive from this hotel. Upon arrival they didn't see us in the computer yet so we had to wait for them to contact orbitz. After about 15 mins they found us and upgraded our room for the inconvenience :) they have a nice pool and cabana area. We went to the bar that is onsite and overlooks the pool. They have a nice selection of beer and a great vibe all together. I would recomend this for a young couple.

Trendy and comfortable
I really liked the decor and vibe of the hotel. I paid a little more for the elevated queen but I don't really know what made it deluxe. The room was small but sufficient. The layout was a little weird since the bed was in the middle of the room but it was still cool. The view was ok but not "panoramic" as referred to in the description. I was also suppose to have access to a lounge with my upgraded room but for some reason my key didn't work. We didn't pursue it because we didn't really have time to utilize it anyways. There was a printer and computer in there which would be handy for printing out travel docs. Since we didn't go inside I am not sure if it cost anything. Our room was at the end of the hall and we could hear a lot of noise from a party going on at the other end of the hall. Luckily it didn't last all night. The free wi-fi was a nice gesture but it was super slow...My phone's 3G was faster. We had dinner at the Deck33 which was convenient. The drinks were expensive and the food was good but pretty pricey as well. The service was bad...the waitress' tip reflected that. The restaurant overlooked the pool (which was small) and cabanans. The cabanans looked like a nice place to lounge. They had fires and heaters everywhere so a night swim might have been nice. The location of the hotel was really good. It appeared to be an up in coming area with new shops and restaurants. It took less than 10 minutes to get to the airport. It took about 20 minutes to get to Santa Monica and it was a pretty easy ride. Getting to the Hollywood area took a while due to tons of traffic. Overall, I don't know what the regular rooms look like but I probably should have just saved my money and stayed with the regular room. For the price this near the airport hotel was worth it as long as you are aware that it is not a luxury hotel.

Drive out to Santa Monica's 3rd Street Promenade. It was a really fun mall with lots of shops and things going on. It only took about 20 minutes.

its okay....
I stayed in the hotel for 6 days they only changed pillow sheets not the bed sheets the a/c worked HALF the time the rooms are not "sound" proof like said. But the staff was friendly an amazing the pool was always closed due to "Private events" The only good part of the hotel was it was close to the airport and 3 miles from Vencie Beach and Santa Monica

Interesting
This was quite the interesting hotel. We arrived at 11pm on a Friday night (via the free airport shuttle which was quite a plus of this hotel) and was immediately confused as to where the hotel entrance was. Part of the first floor is a club which shared the entrance of the hotel. Being a young adult this was ok but a family would have been quite taken aback. The lobby was normal with a delicious (expensive) breakfast in the morning. There are three small elevators and I would not suggest leaning against the walls in them (filthy). The "pool" was more like a large jacuzzi. The outdoor cabanas were nice along with many sun soaking chairs. The hallways are dark and remind me of a hostel (we tried three floors before finding a working ice machine leading me to classify all hallways as dark). However, once inside the hotel room itself there were no complaints. The walls are covered with curtains and the beds are barely off of the floor but besides that very normal. There is also a "light effect" on the windows in every room but there is an off button so no worries. There are large public parties held often which cuts off portions of the hotel to 21+ including the pool area. One plus is the hotel is pet friendly. I wouldn't call the location good or bad. Minimal dining locations around. There is a grocery store right outside. A very nice bowling alley in the hotel parking lot was a lot of fun! Every single staff member was excellent. Another guest I met called the hotel "Progressive" which I think fits well. Definitely only for adults from 21 to 40?

Convenient to LAX, but only with a GPS
We chose this hotel to avoid fighting LA traffic in the morning before a flight. It was good for that, however it was disappointing to have to use valet parking.
