Hollywood and Highland Center Hollywood and Highland Center - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia -TCL Chinese Theatre/Walk of Fame/ Dolby Theatre
Parking is a bear down there, so park in one of the structures, the restaurants do validate.
BTW, Hollywood has lost some of it’s luster. There are a lot of “tacky” souvenir stores, street performers, celebrity impersonators and costumed superheroes getting their photos taken with tourists for tips. It can be disappointing.
The Walk of Fame is really just the sidewalk with plaques embedded , you just have to look down.
Hotels--
The Hacienda Hotels Near LAX | El Segundo CA Hotels | Hacienda Hotel is near LAX (airline rates) it has a shuttle (you have to call) and as M7 mentioned there’s a strip mall with grocery store & restaurants across the street.
The Sheraton Universal,Starwood Hotels & Resorts near Universal Studios Hollywood is other one I recommend. They offer a nice hotel- park pkg
BTW, you’re coming to L.A. you’ll want a LA burger, try In-N-Out (animal style), you'll love it
There one just outside the airport- 9149 S. Sepulveda,; there will be cars in the drive-thru.


Attractions to consider
The Getty Center- The Getty

You cannot go to LA without having good Mexican. This is the 2nd best ( The best El Conquistador is closed - owned by the same people).El Chavo Restaurant | Home

I do agree they should try some good Mexican food. I usually take out-of-towners to Tito’s in Culver City, Tito's Tacos yeah it’s nothing fancy and they don’t served margaritas and parking can be a pain, but the burritos and tacos are muy bueno. And when you just landed at LAX and need a burrito on your way home, it's the place to stop.

Washington Place right? Where the road bends in Mar Vista?
