Comfort Inn Cockatoo Near Lax Airport

“Good value”

This hotel is really a mixed bag. The rooms themselves are spacious and nice, but the area isn't the greatest—you definitely wouldn't want to walk around there at night, and there didn't seem to be much near there anyway other than fast-food joints.

This hotel is really a mixed bag. The rooms themselves are spacious and nice, but the area isn't the greatest—you definitely wouldn't want to walk around there at night, and there didn't seem to be much near there anyway other than fast-food joints. The room rates are good for the L.A. area, which has become very expensive. When we were there, the garage entrance was taped off and appeared to be broken, so cars were entering through the exit, and the whole garage was unsecured. That day too we checked in around 4, but the desk clerk was on break, so we joined a crowd of people waiting to be checked in. She eventually returned and was pleasant enough, but it seems like there should always be someone available to check people in, especially during busy times. All in all, we would stay here again if we needed someplace reasonably nice and reasonably priced and didn't care as much about the area for one night.

“Ok rooms, nice breakfast but understaffed.”

The rooms were nice and the breakfast was good. HOWEVER, when we checked in the front desk clerk was on a 45 minute break and left a person who stated he spoke no English and did not know how to use the computer. When the clerk returned the waiting room was packed with people waiting to check in. I… more

When the clerk returned the waiting room was packed with people waiting to check in. I understand people need breaks but this hotel should hire more people or train staff how to do different jobs, so breaks can be taken. Does appear there is technology in the lobby to possibly do a E-check-in, please use that (of have instructions how to use for customers) if a person needs a break.

“OK quality, good value option near LAX airport”

Overall quality was just OK. For example, the carpets look dirty. They seem to cater to budget travelers vs. business travelers. But the price is very reasonable, the rooms seemed clean and safe.

Overall quality was just OK. For example, the carpets look dirty. They seem to cater to budget travelers vs. business travelers. But the price is very reasonable, the rooms seemed clean and safe. The rooms werew quiet when I stayed there. It is a 10 minute drive to/from the LAX airport if looking for a place after a late flight in or before an early flight out. There is an ARCO gas station with cheap gas (by California standards) on the same block, if you need to fill up a rental car before returning to the airport. There is also a grocery story (Ralph's) a short drive or a 10 minute walk away. Front desk staff seemed friendly. I thought I had seen a fee for parking on the hotel Website, but one gets a free pass to a gated parking deck on the same block. I found free space on the second level of that parking deck on both my stays. I don't recall seeing an elevator back down to the ground floor, so if traveling with lots of luggage one may want to unload the car before parking. There is not really much official parking space on the street in front of the hotel entrance, but there is enough space to park in an unofficial spot with hazard lights on while checking in. Nothing fancy. But convenient for the airport and reasonably priced.
