Thanks Migflanker........hmmm, maybe a change of plans.......(its my daughter going - not me - wish I was though - I don't mind walking - as long as I have comfortable shoes and a lot of time!) - they now think they want to stay somewhere near the Convention Centre (have seen the Holiday Inn South Figueroa hotel but its more expensive than they'd like) SO can you suggest any good clean hotels (preferably with free airport transfers) in that area?

Thanks Vicki

PS - bit of trivial info - we don't have In-N-Out Burgers here so it would be a novelty!
