The hotel is conveniently located and staffs were friendly. I came to LA for my son's graduation and stayed here for 5 nights. Overall, I don't recommend staying at this hotel. For what they offer, the price is kind of high compared to other hotels of this class in the area. The parking again, is free, but a small lot so very limited. The pool area is nice and well manicured. It's not in a bad area, but it's on the line between safe & questionable. is exactly known for.The hotel is located right next to a subway station, so if you are accustomed to sleeping at night without being awoken to sirens anc police breaking up conflicts between folks at the station, don't stay at this hotel. They also seem to think they are well versed to L.A.'s good resturaunts, but when we asked them where a good place to eat was, all they could suggest was Sizzler.not what L.A. Also, they will tell you one thing, and do another - again, not professional. They seemed to take it personally and were not professional. Our issue was minor, but after making them aware, we received snotty looks from two of the female front desk clerks for the duration of our stay. If you have an issue during your stay, don't expect to be able to complain without the female staff being rude to you. This hotel is clean and the parking is free, but that is it for the positives. You'll quickly get used to it & also it will allow you to get around & see a lot more. The Big tip is.dont be afraid to drive over there on the "other side of the road" in the USA. So all in all, we found the Hilton Garden Inn El Segundo to be a really clean comfortable place to us to come "home" to and crash & recover after a hectic day and/or night of touring around! We'll definately be staying there again next time we visit LA. Wait staff at breakfast also gave exceptional service too. Staff at front desk/check in & out were friendly & helpfull when & if we requested anything. Our room was very QUIET as well,no airplane noise which was great as that had been my only concern with it being close to the airport but no problems at all in that respect. There was a laundry there which came in handy as well as a free business centre with computers & printer that you could use too. Nice comfortable beds and a clean modern bathroom.We had stayed at HGI in New York & also Atlanta on other trips so that also helped knowing & finding that the quality of rooms were similar to those we had been happy with before. Small Fridge,Microwave & tea /coffee facilites in room,Flat Screen TV with plenty of channels,Ergonomic Chair & desk with free wireless internet connection too. Our room was,clean & well presented with the usual layout found in a Hilton Garden Inn. With plenty of free parking also included in thier rate, it meant that as a total package the Hilton Garden Inn worked out better than many other Hotels whose inital price seemed cheap but you then had with no or poor continental breakfasts and alsohad to add on the huge amounts they charged parking your car there to get a real comparison. Far better than the "free" rather poor continental breakfasts offered at many of the other hotels. We noticed when pricing around for rooms that at the HGI that there were many different options depending on which website or agent you used or who you were booking through, but in our case found we got the best overall deal going direct & choosing the rate that included the breakfast which was well & truely worth the little extra we paid. Not too far to drive in to a Lakers game that we were attending either.Also found there was easy acess to get on major roads as well. However in this case we had checked in to stay after driving down the coast highway from San Francisco over a couple of days & nights as the Plan was to base ourselves there at the Hotel while we did our thing sightseeing around LA,Hollwood & surrounding areas. We had stayed in or close to LA a year earlier at the Shelter near Hollywood but were not entirely happy with the Hotel & location so researched a bit more this time & seemed that the Hilton Garden Inn ticked all the boxes for what we were looking for in a Hotel and after staying there can now say for sure & certain that this time we made the right decision! Location of the hotel is close to airport which can be handy especially as they do have the free shuttle running so we will be keeping that in mind for any future trips,especially when flying into or out of LA. We spent 4 nights here during the 4th leg of our 5 week trip to the USA earlier in March this year.
