The Sheraton Gateway Los Angeles

As you walk into the hotel, the front desk is slightly to the right.  Due to my late arrival, there was only one other person waiting to be checked into the hotel.  Check-in was quick and efficient, although the front desk staff was not overly friendly.

The room is fairly spacious with a king bed, a small desk and lounge chair.  There were two bottles of complimentary water, which is a nice touch.  Although located close to LAX, there is very little noise from the airport, a big plus.  The bed was comfortable, although the furnishings are a little worn around the edges.

The bathroom was fairly large, only because I mistakenly booked an ADA room.  The sink is very small due to the amount of space needed to accommodate a wheelchair.  There is a shower/tub combo with a shower chair and an adjustable shower head.  It was a little inconvenient taking a shower due to the added equipment in the bathroom, but is solely my fault.

After checking out, it took forever to get my car, probably 20 minutes and it was not even that busy.  The worst part, valet parking is $28/day plus tax (???)

If given the choice, I probably would not stay here again, unless I could get a fantastic rate to help offset the cost of parking.
