Travel tips

If you’re flying in or out of LAX, Diamond Inn’s location (about 4.5 miles away) can make early departures and late arrivals easier—plan extra time for LA traffic. Dockweiler State Beach is a relatively quick outing (about 5.6 miles), and many major LA museums and venues are within roughly 10–19 km, so having a car can be useful, especially with the motel’s free parking. Consider requesting a non-smoking room if that is important to you, as some rooms are designated non-smoking.
