- NFL game days: the free SoFi Stadium Express leaves Bus Bay 8 at LAX/Metro Transit Center (4.2 road miles from the hotel) every 3 to 5 minutes from 3 hours before kickoff, and returns from the fourth quarter until 90 minutes after the game. Metro runs it only for NFL games and select special events.

- SoFi Stadium rideshare: drop-off is on Kareem Court via westbound Pincay Drive, and pickup is at Kareem Court and Manchester Boulevard. Use 3178 Pincay Dr as the navigation address.

- Intuit Dome: the rideshare zone is the Mobility Hub at 3665 W 102nd St. Garages open about 4 hours before showtime, parking should be bought ahead, and the arena is cashless. Its own free shuttles are reserved in the Intuit Dome app.
- Kia Forum: rideshare pickup is at Lot H, at Pincay Drive and Prairie Avenue. Metro buses 211 and 215 stop at the venue.

Why stay here instead of beside the stadium
- The largest two-room suite sleeps up to eight with two bathrooms, so a whole group shares one door, one kitchen and one parking fee, and breakfast is free the morning after.
- On-site self parking (lot shared with the Courtyard), about $22 to $25 per day, higher on event nights. You leave the car at the hotel and avoid the advance parking pass the stadium requires.
- Free hot breakfast every morning.
- Year-round outdoor pool, hot tub and fire pits (shared with the Courtyard).
- Hotels within walking distance of the stadium are few and price up sharply on event nights. Rates here rise on the biggest dates too, so book early for concert weekends, NFL games and the 2027 Super Bowl.

What customers say about Near SoFi Stadium, Intuit Dome and the Kia Forum
Convenient location - close to airport and SoFi Stadium. Nice rooms and free breakfasts. Nice pool and outside lounging areas. Staff is friendly and helpful.
Nice hotel near LAX in reasonably safe area. This hotel feels relatively new and is well maintained. The staff was friendly enough and plenty efficient. They have a clean and comfortable space for breakfast. The room was nice. Nothing special, but it was clean and comfortable. It is located in the hear of the area that surrounds LAX. There are a number of large military contractors in the area. We stayed for a night to have fast and easy access to SOFI for a football game. I would not call this a vacation hotel. We would return without hesitation.
Stayed with a friend for a few nights for the Beyonce concert, and the hotel was exactly what we needed. And what really made my stay was Trayvon’s patience, empathy and commitment to ensuring that we had everything we needed for the stay. I can’t say thank you enough!!! While I do think the room’s bathroom could use some more tlc (shower door and, blowdryer situations) — the room itself is spacious and stocked. The hotel’s also next to a supermarket and easy enough to get to SoFi and LAX, big plus!I’m
