Parking Lots in Hotels in LA
Hi, as i started in the other Forum, i will be having my Honey Moon in California, starting from SF then renting a car and driving to LA through Highway 1 Then stay at LA for 7 days then driving to Las Vegas and stay for another 4 days then back home!
for LA i was wondering, 4 stars hotels such as Hilton in Universal, do they have free parking? they are not mentioning it in their website.
my brother who went to the US few years ago, he told me since i will be having a car i'd rather stay somewhere outside universal area (LAX Hilton)? but i dont wanna stay in a dead place, i want to wake-up in the morning and walk around in a full of life place.

Self-parking: $24
Valet-parking: $28
Important: There is a note that says the hotel is under renovation.
Parking rates for Hilton brands are also listed in the "Rate Details" pop-up window on every rate on the Hilton website.
As a general rule, most hotels in the touristy areas of LA will charge for parking.

Here is a list of hotels close to Universal City. Except for the Hilton and Sheraton, they all offer free parking, however, they are not quite as convenient as the Hilton and Sheraton for visiting the studio tour or CityWalk.

While you're researching LA hotels, you should look carefully at their locations. Use Google Streetview to try virtually walking around their neighborhoods. Some parts of LA are friendly to pedestrians, while in some areas the only reasonable way to get anywhere is to start in your car. If you want to wake up in the morning and walk around, it won't be much fun to drive to the place you walk around in.

Bumping the thread again.. i decided on the dates i will be in LA..
4 to 12 March..
Still struggling to find a 4 star hotel with a good deal.
i have a car. i dont mind staying somewhere little far from the City Center.
but the wife insist that we stay somewhere active. not an isolated hotel.
i thought of hotel near LAX coz prices are reasonable. also west wood?
any suggestions areas to stay in? note that we are not clubbers & we dont drink.

You will generally not find free parking at any hotels in the LA area.
OP, consider Old Pasadena area, good area to walk around in, can catch the subway to downtown LA and to Universal (will involve a transfer). Also an easy ride down to South Pasadena which has a nice walkable area also. In the Old Pasadena area I've never been disappointed with the Westin, may be out of your price range though. Given that you're looking at staying for 7 nights, you may want to try to find something on airbnb or vrbo.com. Somebody might have a nice condo or townhouse in a good area and that would probably include parking.
