as long as I have stellite navigation I will be fine

Thanks for all your tips
1. Yes, you will need a car. And sunglasses.

2. Hotel and car are best bid on priceline.com's Name Your Own Price reverse auction. For example I recently took the wife for a romantic getaway at the 4* Westin LAX for $65. You should be able to snag a car for $25 or less, and a fine hotel for $80 or less.

3. Hotel parking charges, if any, vary. Most 2.5* properties do not charge, many 3* properties do. There are inexpensive motels in many areas that do not charge for parking.

I think one of the Universal City hotels would be about your speed. Aside from the Universal Studios and Citywalk attractions, why not just sit in the hotel jacuzzis, order a drink from poolside service, and enjoy our L.A. weather.
