<p>We recently stayed at the Courtyard in Culver City. They have both LMU and AAA rates which helped. I thought it was perfectly fine. I had also researched hotel reviews on TripAdvisor etc. and was not sure about any of the choices. For the amount of time spent in the room, I did not want to spend the money on the Ritz C or other Marina Del Rey options. I do need a nice room and one that feels clean, modern and safe. This Courtyard was great for our campus visit. I would stay there again. I do recommend renting a car to get around wherever you are staying in the LA area. Taxis are difficult to get when you need one.</p>
