AAA Can Get You Where You Want To Go
Tuesday, January 17, 2006
First: Ask an Angelino! You might consider posting this question on the Los Angeles Judy's Book page.
Go to the top of you Judy's Book home page
Click on "change"
Select "add a location"
Type in "Los Angeles, California" (or Westwood's ZIP CODE--96137)
Watch for "Seattle" to change to "Los Angeles"
Ask your question again
There are plenty of reasonably priced hotels (lodges, motels) near Westwood. You might also look in Brentwood (take Sunset Blvd. to Westwood) or Santa Monica (take Wilshire Blvd. to Westwood) or Century City (take Little Santa Monica Blvd. to Westwood). Many hotels offer pacakges that include tickets to The Getty Museum, for example.
If you are a member of AAA Washington, they would be a great resource. If you are not a member, I would consider it. I have carried a AAA membership card longer than I have carried my social security card. For reasons that I cannot begin to explain my dad signed me up on his AAA membership the year after I was born!
I always check with them if I have a hard-to-solve travel problem. AAA can not only help you find the budget motel of your dreams, AAA reps have screened hundreds of properties (some of which you might be interested) for cleanliness and safety (among other criteria) and negotiated discounts for members. Additionally AAA members can request maps of the area, Trip Tiks (a specially created map of particular routes) and coupon books FOR FREE.
And that is just the travel service. AAA is my first phone call for dead car batteries, flat tires and keys that are locked in my car.
