Airtel Plaza Hotel in Van Nuys, CA

If you like cookie cutter chain hotels, that is NOT the Airtel. If you love aviation and unique hotels you will love the Airtel. Such history with good rooms a great bar and good restaurant. Nice pool. Lots of parking. So convenient.

Good service and rooms and food quality is excellent. Location and hotel transportation very good and reliable. Morning breakfast buffet very good. Some sweet rolls would be a nice addition to the fare.

It was our first experience to stay at Airtel Plaza Hotel. We were four guys on a road trip to celebrate New Year in LA and Vegas. The hotel is located in a convenient location avoiding heavy city traffic but still at a reasonable distance from Universal Studios which was convenient for us as we took the road from Bay Area. Though, it might not be a convenient location for people who fly into LA as the hotel is on the opposite side of city from the LAX Airport. The staff was professional and friendly, there's a Starbucks in the front lobby which was very convenient as I am a coffee addict. There's a restaurant as well right on the property though we didn't dine in. Also, there are some good local restaurants within driving distance of the hotel. There's a lot of parking space on the property which was our main concern as the Hotels nearby Universal Studios have paid parking while the parking at Airtel Plaza was free for us.

Vast, with room to wander around. 2 restaurants & a nice bar. Room was big enough and clean. If one is there for multiple days and at some point doesn’t feel like going out into the frenzy of LA, it would be a good place to hang out, with plenty of room to roam around to escape the room for a while. Good sized pool too! I’ll be back!

The website advertises photos of a new, clean, modern hotel. The entryway is beautiful and the photos of the restaurant and Starbucks cafe are warn and inviting. The location is very near the Van Nuys airport and they have a shuttle that will pick you up from there. The problem is when you walk into your room and find an old, musty, dingy-looking room. It is completely unexpected from what you have gleaned the hotel looks like via their website. It smelled weird and was uninviting. The shower barely spits any water out at you and you feel like you've paid for a very cheap hotel. The rooms were nasty. The rest of the hotel/services were great.
