Regarding our first stay, appreciate there's not much in Hollywood itself but the hotel was booked with PC points and we're happy to zoom around on the Metrolink while based there
That's a good basic plan.

And Metrolink is our commuter rail service. Metro is our urban rail system. You want to use the Metro to get around LA... not Metrolink
