Hotels in Culver City

New for 2011, DoubleTree Los Angeles-Westside is a modern, upscale, full service Hilton hotel along Centinela Avenue beside I-405, near the districts of Marina del Rey, Inglewood and Culver City, and 3 miles north of Los Angeles International Airport (complimentary shuttle available). The on site restaurant, Share, is open for breakfast, lunch, dinner & room service, while evening drinks are served at Culver's Club lounge/bar. Meetings and events are catered for with 20,000 sq ft of space, suitable for groups of up to 600. Leisure facilities are the usual pool, hot tub and fitness center. The oversized guest rooms feature luxury bedding, executive desk and HDTV; there are also several kinds of suite.

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.
