On our trip over, dealing with the LAX construction was awful!! The sidewalk was full of construction apparatus and people were waiting IN THE STREET with their luggage for hotel shuttles! Very dangerous. We waited forever for a Sheraton shuttle and finally a WESTON shuttle dropped us off at the Sheraton! The check in was chaotic. A line so long it took forever to get checked in. On our trip back, it was a bit less chaotic, thank goodness! The rooms were comfortable and reasonably quiet being so close to the airport.
