Hotel stays at affordable prices?

Hey, I'm thinking of going to LA by Easter, but if it weren't for money issues I would've gone there already by now...cos plane tickets aren't nothing like a problem compared to the stay itself..cos it's all so expensive per night..





So in case I can..anyone knows in LA where I can find affordable stays for like a week or two for me and my mom?Like...at least downtown where I have places to go (I'm 25 so no problem at gettin' in clubs...or if so anyone can tell me if there's anything I should know and which clubs are the best ones?)?





Thanks a lotHotel stays at affordable prices?
Looks like the Kyoto Grand Hotel in Little Tokyo (Downtown) is $82 a night on Expedia right now for Easter weekend (its 3 1/2 stars too!) Or try the Mayfair Hotel. It is in Downtown and reasonably priced.





In Downtown, the best clubs/lounges to go to are the Edison and Elevate.





BTW Elevate has dancing. There aren't really any ';dance clubs'; in Downtown, its more low key. I am 25 too and live in Downtown.Hotel stays at affordable prices?
“Affordable” is a very relative term. What one person considers affordable, another might consider extravagant. Personally, I’m comfortable paying $100-$200 per night for a decent or nice hotel. I’ve also payed less that $100 for Motel 6, but I don’t go into large cities expecting to pay less than $100 for something that’s clean, comfortable, safe, and close to attractions.





I generally don’t recommend stays at downtown hotels or airport hotels if you are coming to LA to see the sights. Those areas are really more geared to business travelers. The Kyoto, for example (formerly the New Otani, which I guess makes it the Old Otani), is right across the street from a bail bondsman, with views of City Hall and the old County Jail. There isn’t a lot to do, either.





When I go to San Francisco, for example, I like to stay down by Fisherman’s Wharf. From there, I can easily walk to many attractions, restaurants, shops, and galleries. Downtown LA is not like that, since it’s geared more towards the business traveler. If I were coming as a tourist, I would either stay in West Hollywood, Studio City, or 30 miles away in Anaheim. In West Hollywood, I highly recommend the Best Western Sunset Plaza, a very nice smaller hotel. If you want to stay in Hollywood, I recommend the Renaissance Hotel right next to the Kodak Theater, or the Holiday Inn Express, which is a less expensive option. In Universal City, the Universal Hilton gives you walking access to Universal City Walk. In Anaheim, I always recommend the Candy Cane Inn and the Howard Johnson. Both are close enough to walk to Disneyland and Downtown Disney.





During spring break, you are going to pay more for hotels. Yes, the Kyoto has an $81 rate, but that’s only for the weekend. It’s about $110 the rest of that week.





Hot clubs include Area, Arena, AD, LAX, Level 3, and Ivar.





Have fun!
