Quick stop near LAX

Needing accommodation that has a free shuttle from LAX for a quick stop overnight before heading to Las Vegas the following morning. Any suggestions on hotels 4/5 star, reasonable priced and also close to LAX in October?

Good question — there are actually several very solid 4-star (and a few upscale) hotels near LAX that offer a free airport shuttle, making them great for a quick overnight before heading to Las Vegas. Here are some good options plus what to watch for when booking:

  • Hyatt Regency Los Angeles International Airport
    Very close to LAX (minutes away), with a 24/7 shuttle every ~15 minutes. Modern, comfortable rooms and good amenities make it one of the top choices for quality + convenience.
  • The Westin Los Angeles Airport
    Upscale, full-service hotel with a free shuttle (running continuously) and a good reputation.
  • Renaissance Los Angeles Airport Hotel
    A stylish 4-star property, also with a free 24-hour shuttle. Good spot for a slightly more design-forward but still convenient stay.
  • Sonesta Los Angeles Airport LAX
    Another 4-star option, with shuttle service 24/7. It offers a comfortable, modern feel and is very close to the terminals.
  • Hilton Los Angeles Airport (Westchester)
    Also rated 4 stars in many places. It’s listed among LAX shuttle hotels, and when rates are reasonable, it’s a solid pick for comfort and reliability.

Tips for booking:

  • Because it's just an overnight stop, balance your spend: the Hyatt Regency or Westin give you that upgraded feeling without going super luxury.
  • Use hotel-booking apps or sites (like Expedia) to compare shuttle-friendly LAX hotels — sometimes deals pop up.
  • Confirm the shuttle frequency and pick-up point when you check in. Even “free shuttle” services have different pick-up zones depending on the terminal.
  • Ask about early-morning drop-off if you're leaving for Vegas: make sure the shuttle runs early enough or set up a taxi / ride-share backup.

All in all, yes — you can absolutely get a 4-star hotel near LAX with a free shuttle that’s comfortable, convenient, and reasonably priced (especially for October). It’s a smart move for a quick stop before Vegas.
