The top hotel in Culver City, CA, is by general agreement the Courtyard by Marriott Los Angeles Westside - an imposing 12 floor building of 260 spacious guest rooms, a full service, all day restaurant (room service available), lounge bar, outdoor pool, 24 hour convenience store, fitness center and 10,000 sq ft of indoor/outdoor meetings space. The hotel was fully renovated during 2008, so all rooms and public areas are very clean and modern. Guests can walk to the many shops and restaurants at nearby Fox Hills Mall, by the junction of I-405/Hwy 90, and are just a short drive away (3.5 miles) from LAX Airport. Internet access is free, though not parking.

Facilities are very basic - just free continental breakfast, free internet access and a refrigerator/microwave in some of the 32 rooms, but rates at the Rodeway Inn in Culver City are low, the staff friendly, and the accommodation clean & spacious; the place is a good, low-cost base from which to explore west Los Angeles, being centrally located (5 miles) between Santa Monica, Century City, Beverly Hills and LAX. The closest beaches (Venice and Marina del Rey) are just 3 miles away. The hotel is part of an uninteresting residential/commercial neighborhood along Washington Blvd, though there are several restaurants within walking distance.
