Hotels Near Apollo XI Model Aircraft Airstrip in Los Angeles

This place is definitely in my top ten favorite places to stay in the LA area without breaking the bank, and one of my favorite Best Westerns. About ten years ago I stayed here, and it was a very good experience. Since then the place has been updated and the rooms remodeled. My recent stay was even better than the first. The landscape around this hotel is lush and beautiful. It really provides a pleasant contrast to the concrete city around it. There's plenty of parking, and a Denny's that you can get to through the parking lot. The room was clean and looked like it had been updated fairly recently. The king-sized bed was very comfortable, and the room included a fridge. The only downside to the room was a tiny gap between the door and its frame, which allowed smoke from a smoker outside to waft into my room. The location is very convenient; close to both the 101 and the 405. With that convenience, however, does come noise. Sepulveda is a large road, and there will likely be traffic noise and maybe sirens. As someone who lived in LA for awhile, I'm not sure where you would find a place to stay that doesn't have traffic noise. I look forward to staying here again.

The breakfast is the standard of an average American hotel, there are not many varieties, and you can have a full meal. The room bed is relatively large, equivalent to two small double beds. The parking lot is big enough without charge. The front desk was very polite. One of the female receptionists said that she had been to China and was very friendly to Chinese people. The hotel is close to Highway 405, it is convenient to travel if you rent a car, but Los Angeles has a large area and sparsely populated public transportation. One kilometer north of the hotel is Costco, two kilometers north there is a large Chinese supermarket with lots of food and cooked food. A little more than two kilometers south, there is a Whole Foods Marked food supermarket, but the fruits in American supermarkets are generally not fresh. The food around the hotel is also good, and the barbecue roll next door to the hotel is good. There is a Chinese restaurant opened by Hong Kong people next door, the taste is average. 9 9 There is a ”Sanhe” Cantonese restaurant next door to the Chinese Supermarket. There is a ”Huaguan” opened by a foreigner in Sherman Oaks Square, which sells fake Chinese food, which tastes very good.

We like the Airtel. We’ve stayed here many times over the years. We were told they closed to the public for a couple years and became a homeless shelter. Admirable, but now that they’re open to the public again they really need to resume the same services they had. No restaurants. No in-room coffee. No microwave. No refrigerator (unless you ask for one and lucky enough to get one of few they have left). Crack in the bathroom sink. Not even an ice-machine, but at least you can bring your ice bucket to the front desk and they’ll fill it for you. It’s evident that they HAVE been working on restoring the place; the room was clean, great pillows, A/C worked fine, but they have a long way to go to regain their “former glory”. Were it not for Gary at the front desk (who did everything in his power to make us happy), we probably wouldn’t be back, but we will return.

Exceeded expectations. Great little hotel. Very clean. Well maintained. Lots of characte and charm. Friendly front desk staff. Good location. Good price. Would definately stay again when in the area. Thanks Trip Advisor for this great find.

We live about ten blocks from the hotel. We stayed there when our power went out during the recent terrible heat wave. As you've heard from other reviews, the hotel is sleek and modern. It's like a Hollywood hotel plunked down in the middle of the Valley. More about that later. The staff could not have been friendlier or more helpful. The location is unexpectedly, subtly kind of great. It's a quick jump to the 101 freeway and anywhere you want to go in LA. But it's also got Hugo's Restaurant, beloved by many in LA, right across the street. Across the street from Hugo's is a futuristic Whole Foods, one of only two in the US where you can check out on your phone, without waiting in line (friendly people will show you how to do this). A few doors down from THAT is Gino's East Pizza, authentic deep-dish Chicago pizza and the only Gino's location in LA. Maybe the only one outside of Chicago itself. So all kinds of great food is a few steps from the hotel. This particular corner, Coldwater and Riverside, is getting hip and the Hotel Mariposa is the newest thing on the scene. Here's a couple of local tips: park on the street and save the $20 parking fee. Parking on Riverside is usually pretty easy. One morning we had to go to another block, but parking along Riverside freed up just after that. No way would we pay $20 to park in our neighborhood. They first gave us a room overlooking the 101 Freeway, which we didn't care for b/c it's right there. If you're out of town it might be a very LA thing to be looking out on our famous freeway, if that suits you. Anyway they were very understanding about moving us to another room. There is an outdoor seating area which again reminded me of Hollywood, but in miniature. The pool is tiny but the gym is new and terrific. If I couldn't be in my own home in LA, my second choice would be the Hotel Mariposa. Go there before everyone discovers it and ruins it.

the place is clean. the staff is friendly. it's close to the 101

Perfect place for a shuttle airport hotel! Shuttle very 15 minutes and a great place to prepare for a trip. Pool and bar is nice. Spent way more on drinks and food than I imagined but not much around… it was fair in the end. Great bar staff.

Entrance and lobby is quite nice and modern, the rooms are exactly the opposite. Although is does the job after a long travelday, the room was very outdated. Bed was pretty good I must say. Also the fire alarm sounded twice in the middle of the night. The gave us complementary breakfast as a compensation but only after a making a complaint. Location is pretty good. Near aiport and near Rental cars (10 min walk) The fitness room is ok. Outdated, but still does the job.

Great experience! Service was excellent and hotel amenities were more than satisfactory. Will definitely be going back

A small hotel run by Chinese people. It has its own small yard for parking. It is full of cars at night. There is a small swimming pool. The building is not new and the facilities are not new, but the service is attentive. Although the breakfast is Western style, But there is also Chinese porridge, hot coffee and free instant noodles.
