Default LAX Long

Looks like we are losing our nice breakfast at the Hilton while still getting the joy of sitting in 405 traffic on our haul to Long Beach (new hotel in your email). I kept hearing rumors of Manhattan Beach which would have been a better location and a closer location. I guess it was just rumor though. The breakfast was the only thing that made lingbeach remotely palatable.

Default Westin

The Westin at long beach is the nicest hotel I ever stayed at working for the airlines. I'll suck it up and buy a breakfast. Totally worth it. I heard that manhattan beach hotel was crap. Good thing we didn't end up there.

Fair enough. I can vaguely remember the Westin lobby but the Hilton was pretty nice. Either way the 405 makes me want to put a bullet in my brain and there’s no need for it which is frustrating. I’m not sure why the need for a single long hotel to handle our volume (the reason we are moving). Other airlines that have lots of rooms in large markets like LAX will have multiple long hotels. Your pairing tells you which one.

I think we should remove the name of the hotel

Sounds like grounds for another round of LAX base rumors!

So you don't enjoy being closer to all of the local amenities (bars, restaurants, beach, gym) while staying in a nicer hotel?

Sure (I wouldn’t call that a beach though) but it’s not the only area in LA that has those things and nice hotels. If it were I’d say fine. I’m just growing tired of sitting in bumper to bumper traffic for up to an hour at many of our overnights and sometimes both ways while the drivers do their best to make me sick.
