Hotels By City: Cheap Hotels, Hotel Guides & Hotel Blogs

When I fly to another city for a long weekend, chances are I’ll stay until Tuesday. It’s always cheaper to fly out on Tuesday. The problem with being cheap is that I usually end up bored, and I am left on Monday wondering what to do on the last night of my mini-vacation.
If you are in Los Angeles, wonder no further. Pull yourself away from the television set and make ...

Scintillating, titallating and a complete delight to the senses. Prepare to be seduced by the oldest bar and brothel in downtown Los Angeles.

Right on 6th & Hope, and with a view on the Downtown Public Library, in the shadow of the impressive Library Tower, you will find the Library Bar.

Relatively new in the area, the outside doesn't look very stylish. Inside, the bar has a nice atmosphere, with lounge chairs and a - as one could expect - library corner. It mostly draws working people after hours, and the music is playing on ...

Long before LA's most reclusive hipster starlets infiltrated the bustling heart of downtown LA, La Cita was a staple for quality tequila and two-stepping the night away. If you show up later in the weekend, you're likely to think you're in Amarillo or at least Long Beach's Cowboy Country--Saturday & Sunday are Hacienda Nights, and the dress code is mostly plaids and spurs. But hit the LC up any ...

Alright, so you've arrived in this city of grime, this city of Black Angels, Los Angeles, California, now what? May I make a recommendation? Dont even unpack, just turn off the lights, close the blinds, dont allow a semblance of sunlight to shine through, fall onto your queen-size with a thud (being sure to remove the outer comforter - for they are full of scabies), and assume the fetal position. ...

Dreams of Bunker Hill may dance in your head.  Maybe you dream of living the life John Fante.  Perhaps you've heard of a downtown renaissance (when was the first birth again?).  It's conceivable you are here for the yoga championships.  Sorry, Bikram does not give out a cool title belt.  Probably you are in town on business.  Convention maybe?  Building some business in the new gateway to the melting pot?  ...

No trip to Santa Monica would be complete without a walk down the Promenade, that's three blocks of uninterrupted shopping and entertainment.

The pedestrian zone is just two blocks back from the beach and runs between Broadway and Santa Monica Boulevard.

The streets are lined with singers and performers who'll accompany your stroll around the shops or trip to the cinema.

There's also great places to eat, including the Broadway Deli - a particular ...

Very few people will argue that Spazio is Los Angeles' premiere jazz supper club. Here, you'll find an awesome award-winning menu and an exciting environment that is the perfect accompaniment.  This is a class act!  The acoustics are great, the stage lighting is perfect, and the piano is actually tuned.

There are nightly performances in the main dining room rounded out by the best talent on ...
