I am working in the Mojave area for a couple of weeks in a row and decided to hang out in LA for a long weekend (April 22-25) instead of flying all the way back to NC. Right now I am trying to book a hotel and am not sure the areas to look for or to avoid. Something with a Hilton or Marriott would be ideal. Also any advice on things to see/do in the area would be greatly appreciated. I am more into sightseeing or anything that requires minimal sweating.

Keep in mind that I am a touristy looking east coast guy, so no suggestions that have me wearing a blue shirt and staying at the Motel 6 in Compton!

 

Things to Do, Santa Monica, Venice Beach, LA Zoo, Universal City Walk/Universal studios.

For Hotel, Warner Center Marriot in Woodland Hills, Shopping/restaurants within walking distance.

Hope this Helps.

 

Disneyland! Hollywood Blvd. around the Kodak Theater area (for an hour). Knotts Berry Farm. Newport Beach, La Jolla (beach) near San Diego.

 

skid row

 

Dikspiel bartends at the Dolphin in Redondo Beach.

PM him for passes to the VIP room.
