Agree with MarkS90046 and everyone else here! Hollywood isnt what you may think it is -- you may not want to a Starwood down there! But, the Renaissance is the nicest on that strip. The suggestions of using the Metro from Sheraton Universal or downtown LA (Bonaventure) are good ones.
Wasnt there a rumour here a few months ago about a new W-LA on the large Sunset/Vine construction?
