My king room was well-located on the 17 th floor (just far enough from the elevators to be away from any noise but close enough to the elevators to mean that I didn’t have a 10-minute hike to get to them every time I left my room) and was a very good size. …but they’re clean and well maintained and that’s really all that matters at a property such as this one. The communal areas on the Executive Floors are what you’d expect from an airport Hilton – non-descript and functional… Hilton Los Angeles Airport (LAX) Hilton Los Angeles Airport (LAX)Īt first this seemed a little unnecessary, but then I realized that the system helped minimize the number of floors that each elevator had to stop at and when you have a property as busy as this one can get, that’s a very good thing. …and, after a suitable elevator has been called (there are at least 6 elevators at this property), you can see what floors you’ll be calling at once you’re inside.
