Light Rail/Subway
You
can take the Metro from LAX
for $3.00 but it will involve several
transfers. Go to the LAX
Shuttle and Airline Connections sign on the Lower/Arrival Level
islands in front of each terminal and board the free "G" Shuttle to the
Metro Green Line Aviation Station. Buy $3.00 all-day pass. Take
the Green line East to the Imperial/Wilmington Station. Transfer there
from the Green Line
to the Blue Line. Take it north to its terminus at 7th/Metro.
Transfer to the Red Line and travel one stop in the Union Station
direction to the Pershing Square Stop. Upon exiting station at the
"Pershing Square" side (Do not use
the 4th
St. exit), you
will immediately see the Hotel across Pershing Square. This route
is feasible with wheeled luggage because all stations are built to
current handicapped access standards with large glassed elevators, and
trains are built with their doors at ground level.
The Long Beach Airport does not have any direct connections, apart from taxis and shuttles. However, one can take a short cab ride to the Wardlow Blue Line Station, then take it north to its terminus at 7th/Metro. Transfer to the Red Line and travel one stop in the Union Station direction to the Pershing Square Stop. Upon exiting station at the "Pershing Square" side (Do not use the 4th St. exit), you will immediately see the Hotel across Pershing Square. Technically one can take the bus by getting on the Long Beach Transit Bus 111 South at the Airport Terminal building, transferring at Redondo/Kilroy Airport Way to the LBT 131, heading North to the Wardlow Blue Line Station. (cost $.90 + $.10 Transfer). However this will involve much luggage hoisting and hefting for a fairly short distance.

Amtrak trains.) Two quick stops will take you to the hotel. Exit

quick stops (6 minutes) will take you to the hotel. Exit Red Line
