mbstone Posted November 13, 2005 Report Share Posted November 13, 2005 Part youth-hostel, part motel, this 1* Inglewood, CA property (LAX zone on PL, HW) caters to the young and young-at heart by providing a combination of a) minimalist rooms and :) great amenities and service. I have stayed here twice, and I'd rather stay here than the LAX Hilton (I realize that's not saying much). The rack rate is about $55; I have recently stayed here for $39 (PL) and $41 (HW). (On HW it was $43 two days before, then $42 day before, then $41.) While I like the place for several reasons, it's not for everybody. Oliver Douglas would dig the place, but Lisa Douglas: Darling I love you but give me Fifth Avenue.Also known as Adventurer and as Backpackers' Paradise, this property is located about a mile east of LAX on Century Blvd. in Inglewood. If you frequent LAX you have probably seen their (free) airport shuttle, festooned with ads like "99 Link to comment

LoneStar Posted November 16, 2005 Report Share Posted November 16, 2005 Ya gotta love something different! But I think I'll stick to the "Hilton." I do wonder how many rooms they sell on priceline. Pretty risky bidding on a 1-star in a large city. Link to comment
mbstone Posted March 1, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 1, 2006 Another PL stay here. This time everything went wrong. Bedbugs, no hot water, it rained and the roof leaked. Surly desk clerks (apparently they have a very high rate of staff turnover). I wonder if they have any other youth hostels around here.... Link to comment
