Hyatt Regency Los Angeles International Airport
The staff was so nice, rooms are so clean. The restaurant was fun watching football, so close to the airport. I will honestly recommend this place

Hilton Los Angeles Airport
Property charges an early check in fee $40 after 12pm and $75 before 11pm, down star if fairly nice but mainly a lipstick on a pig once you get into your room, had a flickering light in mine with a pretty disappointing view overall not worth $200 a night.

Hotel Burbank
Slow internet, one of the car chargers was broken, the other one had a Tesla parked in it over night despite signs saying no Tesla adapters allowed. Staff didn't care. Room was fine, but not great. It has a great location for Burbank area.
