Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) sits midway along the coast of the Santa Monica Bay, and there are plenty of hotels and places to stay nearby. However, it's not a scenic area and has many drawbacks (see pros and cons below).

Pros and Cons of Staying Near LAX

  • The obvious advantage is that you're close to the airport, which is helpful if you have to catch an early flight or arrive late at night.

  • Poorly insulated hotels can experience a lot of airplane noise.

  • Most hotels charge for parking (and some charge a lot).

  • The location is convenient to the freeway and it's close to the beach towns, but there's not much to do immediately around the airport. This location may be convenient if you're doing business in the area, especially at the local aerospace companies.
