Hey

Wondering if you guys could help with a hotel recommendation.

I have a car with me, but looking for a Hotel that's easy between the two. The general plan is this:

I'm driving in from Santa Barbara on the first day, so will check in, then drive to Griffith Observatory and spend the afternoon/evening there. Next day will be a full Disney Trip.

Following that checking out next morning and driving up to Vegas.

I'm bracing myself for the LA traffic if we drive from the Hotel to Disney in the early morning. I know even leaving at 7/8am we will still hit some, and whilst free parking at a hotel would be nice, I'm prepared to have to pay self-parking/valet fees.

Any good recommendation for the above?

The wife wants to see Disney, so I may drop Griffith if there is a strong case to, and perhaps get a place to stay near a beach such as Huntington for example, which could make the Vegas drive a bit easier.

Cheers
