What guests are saying:
no complains
My corner room was much more spacious than expected. Great service by phone and hotel staff. Great area for a stopover hotel as the supermarket is right beside it and there's pizza place nearby.
I really enjoyed my stay at the Custom Hotel, it was a very convenient hotel.
very nice designed hotel near lax with good price. location is a bit far from airport entrance but not too bad if stay nice design hotel. service staff is very kind and friendly. bell staff come very quick and good support.
it is nice hotel to stay for transit. But, there is only valet parking which is very inconvininent.
Really close to airport, comfortable rooms and a free shuttle service to the airport. Reasonably priced.

Airport Stay Only, Don't Drive!”
If you drive, you will need to pay for parking $38 per night.
No recommendation or assistance from staff for better parking.
Heater in room didn't work, even the mechanic already fixed it.
A stop for airport only. If you want to travel in L.A., I recommend staying in Korean Town, you'd probably get a less expensive hotel for much better facilities with free parking.

Dear Kengkat,
Thank you very much for your recent visit and for taking the time to post your feedback. We do indeed offer parking at $35 which is a hot commodity here in the LAX area and we keep our pricing in line with other Hotels.

Terrible hotel but good location, DISAPPOINTING”
Location: 5 mins drive from airport, right next to Ralphs (supermarket), and lots of restaurants in the vicinity. However, quite a distance from hollywood area.
Cleanliness: Generally clean lobby and room, but some days, the housekeeping did not throw the rubbish and always did not give enough towels (2 towels for 4 pax?!) even though we remind them everyday!
Staff: Reception staff service is horrible. They seems to be always busy with their computer, we had to wait for minutes before being served despite standing right in front of them. They are not helpful at all when you ask them about the surrounding area, places to eat, etc. Despite having 4 pax in the room and constant reminder to provide 4 towels, we still receive only 2 towels a day. There is clearly a miscommunication problem among the staff. One one night, we requested for a towel to be delivered to our room. The towel never arrived.
The general attitude of the staff are cold and not welcoming.

Dear Dickson,

Good for a night stay”
The floor looks a bit creepy color wise, but the room is nice, spacious and comfy.
Thought the water that was on the counter was completely, didn't see the sign saying it was 3$ per small bottle. 6 of them at Ralph's, which is just a few steps, is 1.55$ and 24 are 5$. A bit over the top.
As for the fitness center, 2 treadmills, one doesn't work, the other is noisy and the incline doesn't work.
Breakfast, looks nice, I didn't have it.
The hotel has a shuttle service from the airport. Give them a call, so you can get picked up.

Good transit hotel. ”
The staff are great, the rooms are large by European standards and the WiFi is good. While the hotel is not near anywhere in walking distance there is a bar and small swimming pool and various small coffee and food shops and supermarket around the corner.
The stand out was the West Indies themed pool party on the afternoon I checked out.

Beyond our expectations”
We were looking for a place to stay somewhere close by LAX that all three of us can stay in one room. Then we came across this hotel on your website.
Honestly, it was kinda gamble for us to book this hotel based on a lot of negative reviews, but we didn't expect much, so maybe that's why we were not disappointed. We can recommend this hotel to anyone who don't expect too much. Clean bed, nice hot shower, full breakfast, convenient neighborhood... what else would you expect for reasonable price?

modern design ”
It was a nice surprise to get a comfortable and stylish room after a busy day. Great attention to details and stylish elements made it relaxing and comfortable. It is little out of the way, however easy to get in/out and few minutes from airport, but not right next to it. Most conformable platform bed as well as creative solution to emanates. Pure white towels, sheets and toilet roll with a background of some darker color and a little touch of red... all are indications of someone carefully thought through various nuances of hospitality.

Breakfast Rip-off”
We booked for 2 nights for 4 people including breakfast for 4 as the website said (and as the front office guy agreed!). We’ve only spent 1 night here because our flight was delayed( did not ask for money back of course, since it’s our fault).
Next morning the great news comes- we only have breakfast for 2 even though the booking site says it’s for 4 people. The guy at the reception says it’s their hotel policy to give only for two people. It makes sense right? You book for 4 people but only get breakfast for 2. Ridiculous. I’m glad they have beds for 4 people when you book it haha.
The guy at 07:00 a.m. at the reception is extremely unhelpful saying we have to contact someone else (haha are you kidding you are the hotel).
I’m so made I booked here and not the Sheraton (it was the same price but without breakfast that’s why we came here).
I am pretty sure this is not the customers fault when the website exactly says you will get breakfast for 4.
Breakfast is 16$ btw, eggs, bacon, fruit milk cereal. Basic. Juice is extra$.
