The Best Western Plus Hollywood Hills is a renovated motel property with 86 contemporary-retro style rooms. This hotel's convenient and ultra-walkable location does its best to challenge the idea that travelers need a car to visit Los Angeles. Within a 15-minute walk, guests can find themselves searching for stars on Hollywood Boulevard, shopping at Hollywood and Highland, listening to live music or sipping cocktails at a nearby venue or bar, dining at area hot spots, or taking in the view of the Hollywood sign. The hotel also has an outdoor pool built inside a private courtyard, as well as parking, and it is attached to the ever-popular, late-night Cafe 101 diner. While the rooms certainly aren't as plush as at the higher category W Hotel, the Best Western Plus offers good value with better facilities than nearby independent motels.

This 187-room mid-range property is so close to LAX that guests can bypass the 24/7 free shuttle and easily walk to Terminal 1 in about five minutes. Business travelers will appreciate the hotel's proximity to several nearby conference venues and its utilitarian business center. Families and groups can spread out in large adjoining suites. And all guests can hit up the small gym or grab a bite in the Bistro Bar and Restaurant. This property is ideal for long layovers and early or late departures, but those traveling with an animal should check out nearby Sheraton Gateway Hotel, which allows pets.

The prime Hollywood location is the outstanding feature of the Best Western Hollywood Plaza Inn, a standard budget hotel with 82 rooms. It has a modern (but small) restaurant and cafe on-site, 24-hour front-desk service, photocopy and fax services, a pool with stylish seating, and tours to family-friendly attractions and theme parks that leave from the hotel (for a fee). Rooms have large flat-screen TVs and natural light, but the furniture is a bit dated. The hotel is on popular and convenient Highland Avenue, but the area's heavy car and foot traffic can make for a noisier night's sleep.

The 27-room Rodeway Inn is a straightforward budget motel in the heart of Hollywood. It's just a short walk from the Chinese Theater, the Hollywood Walk of Fame, and other Hollywood Boulevard attractions, but the neighborhood can feel seedy. Rooms are moderately sized, bright, and clean, though the furniture is obviously not new. The motel has a small pool, (a somewhat meager) free continental breakfast, and free Wi-Fi.

The 116-room, upper-middle-range Beverly Hills Plaza Hotel is in a central residential area on Wilshire Boulevard where many attractions are less than a 15-minute drive away. Although the common areas are upscale, with old Hollywood glamour, rooms are plainer in neutral tones. Mini-fridges, minibars, bathrobes and slippers, and Starbucks coffee are included in all rooms, while suites have perks like jetted tubs, terraces with seating, or fully-equipped kitchens. The full-service spa is a plus for guests and locals, and the on-site restaurant serves traditional American food for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Outside there is a pool with gorgeous marble fountains and a small hot tub, in addition to a garden with koi pond. There are daily fees for Wi-Fi and on-site parking. Guests seeking a sleeker, more modern property with similar features, though no spa, could try Luxe Hotel Rodeo Drive.
