Hi, I do not know much about LA. Our Plans are to visit Universal, Santa Monica beaches and Hollywood. Which area do you think that I should focus on that would be convenient for all 3. I am visting during christmas break, so traffic is not much of a concern (I hope). Which area hotels, perhaps 3*, are likely to offer free parking? Traveling with kids, so I would prefer hotels with larger rooms. Would like to keep it below $100. Which area and which * would you recommend I bid on? Thanks for your help, VK
