Los Angeles Hotels - Reviews and Rates

Arriving in LAX at 10pm is not fun, especially when the customs officers take another hour to process half the flight. (Now I know where they put all the disabled and Mexican people who join the police force) When my moustached border guy asked me how I was getting to my hostel, I felt like dropping him, but that would only dampen my holidays! S...

So, we stayed in L.A. for a good a month. We split our lodging between my aunt's and a friend's houses - in my Aunt Vilma's room and with my Ninang's brother's (Uncle Ferdinand) house. Within the 7-8 weeks, my aunt booked us three for a little trip outside of L.A. We took guided bus tours that to this day still exist. We hit the road. I was so a...

Managed to scramble out of my pit at 9ish and chilled around Santa Monica for the morning doing bits and pieces, like changing my flight back to the UK from currently the 14th September to 7th November. To my horror, I found out that the latest they could transfer it to, without the ticket being out of date was the 7th October. Not good. So it w...

For my birthday, I wanted to go to the Getty Center. We had visited the old Getty Museum, now called the Villa (in Malibu), but had not been to the new one. So we drove from where we were staying in Woodland Hills (Marriott) to the Getty. It's quite big, and you could spend a lot of time there. You get a wonderful view of Los Angeles from up on ...

Stayed in Hollywood. Visited Universal Studios. Drove out through the San Gabriel mountains
