Priceline Hotel: 4* Los Angeles (Downtown) Westin Bonaventure

[vozbelle]

I was uncharacteristically spontaneous and booked a flight to LA without thinking about what I would be doing or where I would be staying. :) In my defense, it was super cheap (160 RT from Baltimore incl. taxes) and I needed a vacation! My flight is a 12:30 a.m. Saturday so I only need two nights, 2/21-2/23 in hotel.

Which area is the best location regarding public transportation and safety (I will be traveling alone)? I did get tickets to see a taping at Warner Brothers Studios in Burbank for Wednesday evening. Are the hotels nearby centrally located for everything else? I will not rent a car so I need to rely on public transportation for that and any other activities I tag on.

Any suggestions for priceline areas? I would like my max bid to be 85/nt, obviously would love cheaper :) Prefer 3/4 star hotels.

I am ready to start my bidding now

I just rented a car for the trip...people were starting to scare me with public transportation at Tripadvisor....so now I just need safe area!

With public transportation eliminated, I started my own bidding process for a 4 star...

DT 4 star. From checking hotwire this seemed to be the best area...
