If you recall the free shuttle to the Manhattan Beach Marriott from a
couple years ago... this have been discontinued. The Marriott is close to
the airport and suggests Taxi service at approx. $12.00-$16.00
For the (extreme) budget minded I find there is a free shuttle ("G") to
the metro GREEN line http://www.quickaid.com/airports/lax/ which drops you off within walking distance (depending on size of
luggage, of course)... if you exit at the 3rd (Douglas/Rosecrans) stop.
This assumes you manage to get on heading in the right direction ;-). http://www.mta.net/metro_transit/System_Map/Maps/slaclb.pdf. Note - I haven't tried this (yet) so use at your own discretion!
