Days Inn Los Angeles/LAX/Redondo and Manhattan Beach

Pros: 3.5 miles to Manhattan Beach. 2 of the 4 front desk people we dealt with were very professional and nice.

Cons: Brought a team of high school athletes for a tournament. On our first night there, one of our athletes found a bag of meth in the TV stand. They called the chaperone and one of our parents (a police officer) to come resolve the problem. I went to the front desk, furious that they would check us in to a room where a minor would find this. I demanded the hotel manager call me. I never received a call. It's an older area, but there are much nicer hotels at comparable pricing on the same street like the Baymont. Had issues with the rooms facing outside... smoke from smokers drifting into our rooms, etc.

Pros: The staff was very nice.

Cons: I booked the night online with our company card. When I arrived I had to show the card, which the owner of my company had back in SD. No where on the reservation did it say to bring it so I had to pay with my personal account. The room was filthy. There were still sticky rings from people's drinks on the nightstand. The fixtures in the bathroom were dusty. There were also homeless digging in trashcans and some men loitering near the elevators, leaving me more comfortably taking the stairs to the fourth floor.

Eh

Pros: Big beds and good wifi.

Cons: The tv didnt work, bathroom door didnt close, bed was super itchy, breakfast consisted of a couple dry good options, hazardous chemicals by the stairs, overall unpleasurable experience but worth the money I guess?

Pros: Fridge and microwave

Cons: Old, no refund given!!!!!!!!!
