- Casa Malibu (22752 Pacific Coast Hwy., Malibu; tel. 800/831-0858): This well-maintained hotel has a terrific beachfront location. Innkeepers don't come any friendlier, and oceanfront Malibu accommodations don't get more affordable.
- The Hotel California (1670 Ocean Ave., Santa Monica; tel. 866/571-0000): You'll like livin' it up at this hacienda-style beachfront motel that charges less than half the price of its fancy-pants neighbors. You'll dig the hotel's surfer/sun-worshiper ambience, cheery rooms with California-themed decor, and direct access to the sand via a private path.
- Carlyle Inn (1119 S. Robertson Blvd.; tel. 800/322-7595): This hidden gem, cleverly tucked away in the heart of West L.A, offers a pleasing courtyard setting, a dash of Deco-inspired style in the guest rooms, and abundant freebies -- including a generous breakfast spread and weekday wine and hors d'oeuvres. It's a real find for those in search of value-priced comforts.
- Inn at Playa del Rey (435 Culver Blvd., Playa del Rey; tel. 310/574-1920): If you crave the slower pace and personal attention that only a bed-and-breakfast can offer, book a room at this inn, which merges easy airport access with a one-of-a-kind natural setting, thoughtful service, and luxury comforts. The spacious View Suites -- complete with a two-sided fireplace that casts a romantic glow on the king-size bed and the Jacuzzi for two -- are the ideal choice for celebrating couples.
- Figueroa Hotel (939 S. Figueroa St.; tel. 800/421-9092): My favorite Downtown lodging is this 1925 building re-created as a stunning Spanish colonial-Gothic palace. The guest rooms have far more style than your average hotel; what's more, this spit-shined corner of Downtown offers easy, car-free Metro Line access to Hollywood and Universal Studios.
