The hotel

There’s no escaping it – traditionally, airport hotels go for location and functionality in that order, with style bringing up the rear. Not so with Custom, the only boutique hotel located within a mile of Los Angeles International Airport (not to mention wonderfully close to loads of LA attractions and beach towns). Naturally Custom embraces its location – there’s a dedicated LAX Lounge with live departure times and the ability to print out boarding passes, plus complimentary shuttles to the airport. However, its rooms and suites having a soothing contemporary elegance, there’s a heated pool with cabanas, multi-tiered sun deck, and fire pit, and with Deck 33, you have American Comfort Cuisine, artisanal cocktails and a fine selection of microbrews. Outstanding.

There are a lot of good things about this hotel — it is a reasonably priced hotel close to the airport, and all of the staff I encountered were very kind and professional. I was staying there because of a meeting that was being held at the hotel, and I found the hotel convenient to several restaurants which were within easy walking distance. The hotel itself, though, seems a little worn around the edges. The rooms were dingy and the furnishings were lacking— for example, the bathroom used a metal stool to hold towels and there was really no counter space. Also, no desk in the room, no chest of drawers. The scene over the weekend was pretty rowdy - I did notice quite a bit of noise, quite a bit of partying going on, but the hotel staff seemed to have it under control- Saturday evening was really loud, but the noise ceased by about 11:00pm. My stay was acceptable, but I was traveling with my husband and part of a large group. I am not sure I would’ve been so comfortable traveling by myself, and I would not recommend this hotel to single travelers. Read less

Do not be deterred by some of the exaggerated, negative reviews here. This is a great hotel, with solid management. I am a resident who lives by the hotel, and went to a meeting at the hotel with management and residents, to discuss an incident that in fact, did not take place at the hotel, as stated in another review (the one time incident, was… Read more
Do not be deterred by some of the exaggerated, negative reviews here. This is a great hotel, with solid management. I am a resident who lives by the hotel, and went to a meeting at the hotel with management and residents, to discuss an incident that in fact, did not take place at the hotel, as stated in another review (the one time incident, was in the Ralphs parking lot nextdoor). The hotel hosts events of all kinds, including private parties, as is the case with all hotels. Management addressed residents concerns immediately and with genuine interest, and is clearly committed to great customer service and care, and to also being a good (business) neighbor. Read less

Disgraceful behavior at this hotel. "Pool Parties" every weekend with fighting and gun fire in the parking lot. Lock downs in the neighboring businesses. Neighbors cannot use local grocery store due these parties.

Please go to Yelp and read all of the reviews on this hotel. It’s dirty, scary, dilapidated and just contributed to a shooting in our neighborhood due to the uncontrolled pool parties they have every weekend. Clearly, the owners care nothing about the neighborhood or their guests. Look at the guest photos on Yelp, this is not a luxury or boutique or European style hotel. It’s too bad because it’s in a great location near LAX and the ocean. Renovate the hotel and stop the pool parties, we don’t want shootings in our peaceful neighborhood. Read less
