So after 4 days at Disney we are going to stay a few days in LA before heading home. We are going to do the Warner Bros tour, visit Universal, and a guided tour from the Santa Monica pier.
I have reserved a hotel close to the airport because it seems like a good location (actually I didnt know where else to stay) and it was the least expensive for a nice hotel. a 30 minute morning drive to Universal is not something we would mind doing (if its actually 30 minutes)
I dont know anything about the areas in LA and after doing some research about the traffic and such I find it might be better to stay in Hollywood (this will increase my hotel budget $200) - I'm ok with the increase if Im getting more 'bang' for my buck so to speak - ie better location, I wont be spending my vacation commuting in traffic, etc.
So, my question - it it worth the extra expense to stay closer to the 'attractions' ? We are not looking for the ambiance of the location of the hotel- we will be out sightseeing, and touring.
Any advice and thoughts would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
Cindy
