L.A. Happy Hour - confirmation and SWEET UPDATE!!!

[Los Feliz Slim]

Hotels:

The Hollywood Downtowner - Orbitz has is at $109/night. Most assuredly very sketchy, but looks amusingly strange.

Saharan Motor Hotel - One of my business partner's cousins died at at this hotel. Also a burnout I went to high school with lived here for like three months. Extremely close to the bar we're going to. Orbitz says $113/night.

Ramada West Hollywood - I don't know anything specific about it, but it's certainly better than the above two places. Orbitz says $169.

Holiday Inn Walk of Fame - Looks OK @ $179/night.

Hyatt West Hollywood - $255/night. Right on Sunset Strip if you plan on doing some clubbing, etc.

Kinda looks like if you spend less than $150/night you should be prepared for anything. It doesn't look like there are rooms at the "cool" hotels I would've recommended, like the Chateau Marmont, Hollywood Standard, Hollywood Roosevelt, etc. But they might be worth checking, and will also be expensive.

Looking at the websites of these two places, I think I would have the best trip report of anyone at the Happy Hour.

The Ramada has some pretty cool looking suites :





They're $225 though or $300 with a wet bar.

This development has exciting implications! I'm still in.

RE: Hotels, I linked to a couple of options in the last thread. If it's in this area and reasonably priced, it's going to be somewhere between kinda sketchy and a place where hookers bring their johns. Anybody coming in from out of town, if you find a hotel and are wondering about it, post here or PM me and I'll tell you what I think.

Fluff, the hotels at Universal are pretty nice and I don't think are insanely expensive. The cab ride to the bar we're going to won't be THAT bad, but it's not exactly around the corner.
