cheap hotel, Los Angeles, Ramada Plaza Hotel LAX

Hawthorne, California

Here's a pretty decent Ramada I've stayed at once before that I feel deserves more credit than is given by some previous guests on Tripadvisor. While the hotel is a bit older, it provided me with everything I needed and was clean and comfortable. It's very convenient to Los Angeles International Airport - only 3 miles away. The 405 and 105 freeways are near the hotel, but no traffic noise was heard.

Hotel Address: 5250 W. El Segundo Blvd. Hawthorne, CA 90250
