I know what you're thinking. Why the cheesy intro? Well... I had to since I visited L.A. recently, and found a great hotel to stay at. And, it was indeed a great place to nap. The Courtyard by Marriott in LAX/Hawthorne was a great place for a weekend. They had a gym, swimming pool, basketball court, and even streaming apps on the t.v.'s in your hotel room. Best part of it all is that you can stay here for a little under $100 bucks/night depending on when you book. So if you share the room then it is a steal of a deal. I know this sounds like I'm doing nothing but pumping this place up. But, I was really surprised by all they offer. Lyft rides from the hotel to West Hollywood are around 20 bucks, and Redondo Beach is only like $12 or 13. The best part of it all is that you can get to Manhattan beach or Hermosa beach for about $10 bucks from here. It was easy to get reasonable Lyft rides, and the hotel provided a great place to nap. All in all, 10/10 for this hotel. Next time your're in LA, I'd recommend this place. I think you'll la-la-love it.
