All five hotels below are on West Century Boulevard, 0.8 to 1.2 miles from the Tom Bradley International Terminal in a straight line, and they're listed closest first. Each one lists a free 24-hour LAX shuttle, and the cards show the walk to the LAX/Metro Transit Center for the Metro C and K Lines.
