LA Stop-over
We have a 4 night stop-over in LA on 12 Oct en route to Christchurch. We plan to stay in Santa Monica area and are about to book accommodation, we havent been to LA before and just wondering if any-one can recommend a decent (tho not too expensive) hotel. The hotels on Ocean Drive seem really pricey, a couple that look interesting are The Jolly Roger, Travellodge on Pico Boulevard and also a couple at Marina del Ray. We dont want to pay the premium for location as we plan to be out & about but dont want anything dingy. We are a family of 4 travelling with 2 children. Any info appreciated!

Hi there
Sorry i cant help you out in the area you are looking for, but if you change your mind on that area i can reccomend Anaheim, we stayed there on a 4 day stop over this June onway to Mexico and we loved it, we stayed in the howard johnson and it was right outside the entrance to the park, we are looking to go back to La for 3 weeks next year as we loved it, also always had a good experience at LAX
