LA Hotels

Ralleyguy

Ive attending many Forum concerts & its one of my favorite LA arena venues.  I usually stay by LAX and prefer the Westin LAX.   Just booked yesterday on priceline express deal (4 star LAX gateway) for May 7th at $95 & got the Westin!!  I just Uber or Lyft to & from the Forum.  
Yes there is a pricier surge after the concert But nothing like the wait after a game/ concert at SoFi stadium.  
Sometimes after a concert i make the 25-30min walk over to the IN-N-Out burger on Century & its a quick Uber/Lyft from there.

If people are looking to spend some time in a nice area while in LA for the shows but remain closer to the venue and LAX, I would definitely not recommend staying at an isolated airport hotel with nothing to do that is walkable and instead stay at any of the many nice hotels in Marina Del Rey.  Pull up a map and you will see how close Marina Del Rey is to the airport as well as to The Forum (not as close as airport hotels, but plenty close enough). There will not be a big Uber/Lyft price difference from The Forum to MDR as compared to LAX hotels. You will also have easy access to the very nice area of Santa Monica if you stay in Marina Del Rey and have lots of walkable things to do during the show days (as opposed to LAX airport hotels, which require an Uber to go anywhere). I usually stay at the Marina Del Rey Marriott and am doing so again this time. If all you are looking for is a cheaper price though, yes, LAX hotels are cheaper than MDR.

Also, don't forget about the South Bay.  Manhattan, Hermosa, Redondo are all not very far from LAX / Forum with tons of restaurants and stuff to do.

No question lots of Nicer hotel & food options than the LAX hotels!  The nicer area hotels are easily 2-3x the total cost on a friday & saturday night plus check the cost of parking. 
These shows arent cheap & the drinks at the Forum arent cheap either!

Just cancelled my room at Hilton LAX and switched to Westin LAX.  Was a little cheaper and the rooms are bigger. 

Another Westin guest here.  Party by the pool?

Add me to the Westin.  PJ should play a show in the large conference room for us!

I'm staying (Sonder Lum) about a Mile from The Forum and I plan on walking. or do I need to run? 

@cutz I’m booked there too but am also uncertain about the walk back.  Want to do a safety in numbers thing for the walk back? Are you doing both nights? Feel feee to DM me.  

That's my fallback place! Stay tuned, and maybe we'll get a clique goin'. I'm guaranteed to have crazy eyes, a giant beard, and dress disheveled

I'm starting to look at sonder lum myself, or Lax (Hilton)hotels. Flying solo, any more insight would be appreciated. 

Hi, I'm goingo solo too... I've just looked for the hotel price in Sonder Lum, but I can't afford the whole price, so maybe I can share room? I'm only staying between saturday and sunday... Anyone?

Have you looked into an AirBnB? You can sometimes find them for cheaper than a hotel. I did that at Dana Point last year and it worked out great.

Yes easy, just find your rental company outside abs they take you to the office.

I'm staying at TownePlace Suites just south of LAX and renting a car. I'm solo and I don't mind picking a few of you up at your hotel close to
LAX or The Forum. We can split the parking cost (probably $20 or so). But I still need tickets to both shows so if anyone knows someone selling a GA to one or both PLEASE let me know! If you can get me in touch with someone selling a GA I'll be your damn chaufffer and drive you all around LA!

Some are easily walkable from the terminal if you don't want to deal with shuttle

Yes, I ended up bookin an airbnb four blocks far from Sönder Lum, so would be nice to have company in the walking at the end of the concert...

So I'm sure I don't really need to say this, but the unspoken rule in LA is that if you see a celebrity, you leave them alone.
