Designliness is next to Cleanliness is next to…
I am trapped in LA…while the situation is not ideal, I would like to commend the LAX Four Points Sheraton on a number of fronts…
On my way home from the Adventure Travel World Summit in Whistler Canada and flights are a complete mess…so long story short, I am now stuck in Los Angeles while the dust settles on a number of cancellations to Hawaii. In the shitshow that was yesterday, I frantically booked a room at the Travelodge LAX because of a MUCH lower advertised price at the airport - even though some fellow travelers encouraged me to consider the Sheraton…well, needless to say, I should have listened. Outside of some dog-hair-covered mountain lodges, the Travelodge was one of the most terrifying hotel rooms I have ever stepped into.
Jump to a half-hour, some serious slick-talking, and a ten block walk later, I was safely checked into the Four Points Sheraton LAX (for thirty bucks less per night than the Travelodge no less!). While certainly not as nice as the Gateway down the street, but at almost a third the cost (105 vs 269), I was pleasantly surprised by the rooms…and the obvious style guide adherence throughout the establishment was nearly as refreshing as the newly improved memory foam mattresses. Now let’s hope I can get home tomorrow.
