The hotel is accessible via Beach City Transit (BCT)'s route 109 southbound bus line, "LAX City Bus Center - Redondo Beach Riviera Village". The hotel is 2 minutes from the Beryl St. / Harbor Dr. stop. It is also accessible via Metro's route 232 southbound bus line, "LAX City Bus Center - Long Beach".
After arriving at LAX, look for the pink LAX Shuttle sign on the Lower/Arrivals Level (regardless of terminal) and board the Metro Connector Shuttle, taking you to the LAX/Metro Transit Center. Once there, catch route 109 southbound. After about 30 minutes (27 stops), get off at the Beryl St. / Harbor Dr. stop. Walk back towards the intersection, then turn left passing Sol Restaurant. After about a 2 minute walk, the hotel will be on your left!
Alternatively, once at the LAX/Metro Transit Center, catch route 232 southbound. After about 30 minutes (26 stops), get off at the Pacific Coast Hwy / Beryl stop. Head back towards the intersection and turn left on Beryl St. After about half a mile (about 7-10 minutes of walking), turn left on N Harbor Dr passing Sol Restaurant. After about another 2 minute walk, the hotel will be on your left!
Rideshare
Most rideshare services will take about a 30 minute drive from the airport to the hotel. Average prices range from $30-60. While we cannot directly coordinate or facilitate this, we highly encourage attendees arriving around the same time that feel comfortable to share a rideshare vehicle to help defray the cost if choosing this method.

Drive on CA-1S. CA-1S will turn slightly right and become Pacific Coast Hwy. After about 0.5 miles, turn right on N Catalina Ave, then turn right again to stay on N Catalina Ave. After another 0.5 miles, turn right onto Beryl St and then turn left onto N Harbor Dr. The hotel will be on your left!
