Advantages: Great location, good food and adequate rooms. Disadvantages: No extras or upgrades offered to us here.
...***Background***
LosAngeles was unfortunately our last stop on our honeymoon tour of the States and we decided that we would need to stay for three nights to take full advantage of seeing UniversalStudios and to have a look around the city.
My husband is a big film fan and when we were looking at where to stay in LA we wanted somewhere near to the Studios, as we had pre-booked our tickets in conjunction with our earlier visit to Sea World in San Diego. We decided that location would definitely take priority over luxury and when we discovered that there was a Holiday Inn in the area, we allowed our travel agent to go ahead with booking it for us.
***Arriving***

...LosAngeles: Bigger Than Life
Let me state it right off at the start: I love LosAngeles. It is a great city to visit or to live in … IF you know how to get around, and how to put up with the eccentricities of the place.
Getting Around L.A.
Originally, LosAngeles was a much smaller city. Long Beach, Santa Monica, Hollywood, Burbank, Glendale, Pasadena, Santa Fe Springs….those were all separate towns a long way from L.A. You reached those towns by riding the old red trolley cars. Sometime in the late 1940's the urban planners who are responsible for this awful sprawling mess made a conscious decision: LosAngeles would be a megalopolis connected by a system of freeways…people living in the megalopolis would, of course, be wealthy and every person would own a car. So, during much of the 1950's the streetcar lines were...
