Hey guys...

Coming in for HIN next month...I was wondering if ya'll had any recommendations for hotels in the area pretty close that are low car friendly.

Any help would be very appreciated!!!

Thanks...
Wayne

 

It's ghetto in downtown, unless you're paying big bucks for the ritzy hotels. I suggest staying 10-15mins away in the suburbs like Glendale, Burbank, or Pasadena. Lotta places to eat, and less than 20mins away from tons of places to see.

thanks for the advice guys!

any recommended spots?

 

Best Western Pasadena Royale on Colorado and Rosemead.. thats in the city of Pasadena

try westin bonaventure in down town, nice hotel and good food! and a whole bunch of classy lady's walking all over the place.

 

Hit us up when you get to HIN Wayne. Great to see out of towners coming to a car event or do something they enjoy.

 

Here's a link to the hotel guide from the Los Angeles Convention Center:

Another choice for Pasadena is the Saga Motor Motel. It's a throwback to another era, and last I looked, very well maintained:

If you want something a little different check out The Standard Downtown. Is pretty cool and you can party on the rooftop in the evenings.

 

you guys are badass...thank you!

 

I'm from Norcal but used to go to E3 every year. Our company used to stay at the Wilshire Grand which is within waking distance. They have their own indoor garage though I don't recall how it was set up.

 

I guess I'll be seeing a lot of other out of town guests downtown as well. Great idea, I was thinking of doing the same with my team, except we're local but have about an hour and a half commute so we're planning on just staying the night nearby since we have to leave the cars overnight.

 

ive stayed at the wilshire grand hotel downtown.. it's nice.
if you don't mind driving like 10-20 minutes north-ish, stay in hollywood.

 

do you guys know where ya'll are staying yet?

 

Any of the following will put you 1 mile from the convention center. All of them are upper class hotels for the area. You dont want to stay in a Motel 6 or alike since South Central L.A. is 1 block east, west, north and south of the convention center. You wont get shot, but you may not like the people! PM me if you need more info!

The closest one is the Holiday Inn express, its only walking distance from the convention center.....

 

i'll look into that one too...

 

Don't wander too far hahah. Downtown is still GHETTO

 

dude downtown is like the new hangout for the indie crowd.. i think the indie hipster kids are scaring away the bums.
stay away from east downtown/skid row area though.
