Cheapest was Best Western (per AJ), but it is a little far. Maybe 1/2 mile. If you are going to drive, not a big todo. Respectable rooms with a safe. Sorry, I cannot do much more on the comparison side. Jack used to live there. He would have better info.

Shuttle - as far as i could find NO. And I was rather surprised.

 

Thanks, I will google it and keep the name in the Long Beach Brochure.

I am sure AJ can expound considerably.

 

Supershuttle and Prime Time shuttle will get you to Long Beach from LAX for $30, in the event your hotel won't do it.

 

I actually lived in Hollywood, a short drive north of LB.

There are the shuttles that Acanthite mentioned, but I just rent a car, they are cheap enough. Our Mustang convertible was $200 for 3 full days, I could have spent much less tho if I tried.

Motels? Our Best Western was a good 5 blocks @ 119 a night I think. Next trip will be the Westin ( 1 1/2 block ) or the Hyatt ( attached ) but at a higher cost. All 3 have safes on the room. IF you don't plan on " touristing " no need for the car, pay extra for the room and your even with less walking. Westin and Hyatt both have great restaurants, coffee shops, etc.

Long Beach is a rough town, dont stray too far with cash/coins on person. If you stay at or near the show your fine, it's those off the " Main Street " places that can get you in trouble.

 

Rosemead? Sure why not. You can join the Crips or the Bloods while your there too !! ( I hear the getting " jumped in " part hurts tho )

 

you moved out of Hollywood no more star status for you

 

As a youngster ( 20's) the age, not the decade ) I wasted my youth on wine women and song while most of you were still in diapers, lol. I left Detroit in the early 80's for the fame and glitter of the Boulevard of Broken Dreams. All I have from it is the broken dreams part And a great bunch of " life experience ".:kewl:

I worked in Canoga Park at RocketDyne, the Space Shuttle main engine plant as a machinist by day, rock star by night on the Sunset Strip. Guns and Roses was a bar band. Lived in a tiny apartment on Beechwood Dr, at the top of my street was the Hollywood sign and it was a 20' somethings heaven back then. Ahhh the days.

 

Those reversible bandanas with red on one side and blue on the other are handy

Seen them several times...heard rumors they may be making a comeback..

If I could go back in time, I'd go back to the 80's, I was poor, but life was better.
