I'm willing to do 2.5 stars in Hollywood, Santa Monica, Beverly Hills, Culver City, and Westwood. Honestly, the Holiday Inn Express in Hawthorne is going for $85/night with my AAA discount and it includes free hot breakfast, free parking, and free wifi. Since I have a car, I'm leaning towards just booking that considering with both priceline and hotwire, I don't know if the hotel I get will include free parking which sometimes costs $30/day. Any thoughts?
