thereuare Posted February 7, 2017 Report Share Posted February 7, 2017 Welcome to BetterBidding! Difficult to say without seeing the complete amenity set for this property, but my guess for the 4* would be The Westin Bonaventure Hotel and Suites, Los Angeles. For the 3.5* i'm currently seeing this property at $189/nite, if still interested, my guess would be The LA Hotel Downtown.

kobe91 Posted February 7, 2017 Author Report Share Posted February 7, 2017 Thank you! We're a family of 4 looking to stay for a couple days in LA and visit friends & family, and take in Universal Studios Hollywood. I figured a downtown hotel would make it easy to get to Universal by metro, but I'm open to anything really. Family friendly, preferable to not pay for parking my rental car, and a breakfast buffet would be nice. Again, I'm not beholden to downtown LA. Any ideas? I just want it to be a well-known respected chain hotel, clean of course, and not too far from Universal with LA traffic. Any ideas? Link to comment
thereuare Posted February 7, 2017 Report Share Posted February 7, 2017 3 hours ago, kobe91 said: preferable to not pay for parking my rental car, You will likely need to get outside of the 'downtown' area to get free parking (which may then makes metro access more difficult)... and note that neither of the hotels above offer free parking. 3 hours ago, kobe91 said: I figured a downtown hotel would make it easy to get to Universal by metro Downtown Los Angeles to Universal Studios is about a 45 minute trip via the metro.. not sure if this falls into your realm of 'easy' or not. What is your maximum budget (per nite before taxes/fees) for this trip? What area(s) are your friends/family in that you intend on visiting?

kobe91 Posted February 7, 2017 Author Report Share Posted February 7, 2017 Thanks again thereuare. Max budget is probably around the $179/night range. My friends/family are mostly in the West Hollywood area, one in Thousand Oaks, one in Diamond Bar. Hope that helps? Link to comment
thereuare Posted February 7, 2017 Report Share Posted February 7, 2017 What about the commute to Universal...is 45+ minutes acceptable? Please use this HOTWIRE and these PRICELINE LINKS: HOTELS, CAR RENTALS, and AIRFARE to begin your travel purchases Link to comment
kobe91 Posted February 7, 2017 Author Report Share Posted February 7, 2017 A shorter commute would be preferrable, yes. I'm not too worried about distance from friends/family, so if I was a little closer to Universal that's better. I appreciate it! Link to comment
thereuare Posted February 8, 2017 Report Share Posted February 8, 2017 Do any of these work for your needs: 3.5* Glendale for $148.00 Free Internet Fitness Pool Restaurant Business Laundry Hi-Speed Internet Golf Blind Accessible Deaf Accessible Travel Accessible Room Accessible Bathroom Accessible Handicapped Parking Roll-in Shower ==> Hilton Los Angeles North/Glendale would be my guess for this one 3.5* Glendale for $165.00 Complimentary Breakfast Smoke Free Fitness Pool Restaurant Business Laundry Hi-Speed Internet Golf Blind Accessible Deaf Accessible Travel Accessible Room Accessible Wheelchair Accessible Bathroom Accessible Handicapped Parking Roll-in Shower ==> my guess would be the Embassy Suites Los Angeles - Glendale Do either of the above seem to fit your needs?

kobe91 Posted February 8, 2017 Author Report Share Posted February 8, 2017 Based on your guesses of which hotels they are, I think those would suit my family fine. Thanks! So just use the HOTWIRE link and try for those stars/amenities combination? Link to comment
