Hi there

Just wondering where everyone is staying in L.A? I'm coming from Vancouver, B.C and I'm not sure if I should stay downtown or Hollywood??

Any recommendations?

Thank you.

    I'm going to LA for the USC/Ohio St. game in September. I'm staying at The Standard in Hollywood. It looks pretty cool, but I have to admit I chose it because it was mentioned in a Klosterman book.

    I did hear though that downtown is rough and not to stay there if you don't have to..but I don't know I've never been there

    Thats a cool hotel, righ on the sunset strip, so you can walk to a bunch of clubs/restaurants/music venues.

    Downtown has changed quite a bit, much like downtown Cleveland changed in the 90s (Area near the Jake/Q, etc)....there are more and more people living downtown now, so it is not as dangerous.

    Yeah I heard downtown has gotten nicer. I wouldn't have any way of judging it because I've never been there. I was told though to stay in Hollywood if it's your first time because you get to see and do the things you associate with LA from what you read and see on TV.

    How much dough are you ok with per night?

    Yeah. What they do is they take the number of tickets they get and sell 70% to season ticket holders and 30%(and whatever is left of the season ticket holder tickets..which in this case would probably be none) and sell them to student and alumni via a lottery system.

    I am in the process of doing something shady for my tickets. I got 2 tickets from one of OSU's coaches, and told my dad I needed 2 (he is a season ticket holder). So just in case one falls through I still have 2 tickets. I'll just sell my other 2 if I end up with all 4

    Nothing wrong with covering all the bases!

    I am actually a Cleveland/Ohio fan (Tribe/Browns/OSU) so if you get the extra pair, can I have a shot at buying them? I will repay the favor with hooking you up with something cool in L.A....a game, concert, etc.

    The Wiltern is south of Hollywood, perhaps 4 or 5 miles.

    The Wiltern borders the western outskirts of downtown, so maybe 3 miles away.

    What else were u gonna do in L.A.?

    That will allow me to think of a good place to stay.
