El Segundo - safe neighborhood ?

I'm shortly going to be spending a night at the Hacienda Hotel at LAX
(525 N. Sepulveda Blvd, El Segundo 90245).

I'm going to be at the hotel early afternoon and to sit staring at the
walls will surely drive me insane, so I'd like to do my usual thing of
wandering the local streets for an hour or two.

I know that many neighborhoods adjacent to airports tend not to be the
toniest... could anyone who knows this area please advise whether it is
safe to walk around in during daylight hours ?

Thanks

Nick

There's a lot of businesses that are open late in that area, so
wouldn't be unsafe to walk, just boring - pretty ugly area of town, but
I guess most airports aren't situated in the most scenic of spots.

I'm sorry, I should have suggested staying in Marina del Rey instead if
you like to walk & are getting in in the afternoon - there's a
Doubletree there & a Best Western Jamaica Bay right on the water.
Marina del Rey is just about the same distance from LAX as the Hacienda
- just drive north instead of south. Your walking will be much more
enjoyable & scenic here!

K,

Thanks for the recommendation - I'll see if I can get the reservation
changed (it's all being done through work).

fills its three parallel floors with dancers from all over the
SouthLand, many of them champions. There is no cover, drinks are
modestly priced, and there're tostaditas and salsa for the taking on
a table near the door. Even if you don't dance, they're fun to watch,
especially the skinny old man who must be close to eighty who's an
excellent dancer in spite of the short time he's been at it.

When there, it's a place I make it a point to go. Lotsa fun!
