Just wanting to see if anybody is interested in the group hotel thing. I believe pearljgrl2010 was going to look into group rates, but maybe we should figure out how many in the group.

I think it would be fun to stay in a hotel with bunches of fans and hanging out for acouple days together meeting people and stumbling around LA.

    ***RAMADA INN on Wilshire*** double beds $95+tax per night
    APRIL 12 and 13 are blocked...if you need the 11th, let me know. Also, if you are interested in sharing a room, let me know.

    If you are interested in booking with the group at the Ramada on Wilshire , all you need to do is call 213-736-5222 and tell them that there is a block of rooms under JANET MIHALIC for April 12 and 13. They will take your info and get you set up. You can also call me at 310-365-1989 if you'd like me to do it for you or if you have any questions/comments.

    Yup, I'm working on it...it looks like we might be able to get group rates if we have 10+ rooms, so I think JamBayLeaf is right, if we can get a tentative idea of how many rooms we'll need, we might be on to something...

    I sent you an email tonight to the email address you posted on the other thread. So I would be interested in any group hotel idea.

  • Wiltern is in a crappy area. I would recommend that you find a hotel in the greater LA area, where there is other stuff to do in addition to the concert. Then, get a cab or whatever to go to the Wiltern.

    wiltern is kind of a shit area for hotels.... I'm sure the list of people going will increase after the TM sales....

    I was thinking just staying at a LAX hotel if I don't stay with friends.... it's not that far....

    unless you get a ride that's a heafty cab fare....:)


    there is a subway stop at the wiltern (yes la has a subway) and it goes from downtown so you might want to consider staying there as there are more and better hotels downtown than whats around the wiltern....:)

    Same Subway line goes to universal studios. Great hotels there and more to do than downtown. Downtown LA is dead. Just offices. Not like midtown Manhattan. Don't expect that.

    I think you're right...not the greatest of areas. The beach areas are great, more to do, but farther away...

    or rent a car with someone.... the car would probably run about $50 - $60 for 2 days...

    Have you taken the train or know (offhand) how late it runs back? I haven't taken any public transportation in LA...so I need to do my homework!

    thanks for that...what would you think about Santa Monica? There's 3rd street, the beach, bars, restaurants...and it looks like the metro shoots right up Wilshire...

    Santa Monica would be great. I was planning on watching the Red Sox Yankees game the Friday between the shows at Sonny MClean's - the big Red Sox bar out on Wilshire in Santa Monica.
