For me the Miyako represents what I consider a relatively clean middle range hotel. LA is a huge hotel market so chances are you'll be able to find something in virtually any price range or comfort level. For the more adventurous it might make sense to focus on leveraging a deep discount through an opaque booking service such as Hotwire or Priceline and then hire and Uber or Lyft car to get you there.Define ‘cheap’?
Of the two hotels mention by others here:
Metro Plaza Hotel
http://metroplazahoteldowntownla.com/content/index.php?section=Home
Studio (standard) room = $119
Miyako Inn
http://www.miyakoinn.com/
Standard King = $152.10 (AAA rate) ... otherwise $175.68
There are a lot of 'cheap' motels around, but many may be questionable.
The only hotel within reasonable walking distance of the station is a Marriott, roughly 2 blocks away. The only other hotels I've seen with shuttles from/to Bob Hope Airport are a Courtyard by Marriott that's about a mile away, and a Holiday Inn in downtown Burbank, 2 or 3 miles away. I suspect they're all at least as expensive as the Metro Plaza.You could consider bailing off the CS at the Bob Hope (Burbank airport) at 8:30PM if on time. I think there are some cheaper hotels there.
On what date are you arriving? How far in advance you book can affect the price.I am arriving on CS late in evening. Plan to take Fly away shuttle to airport in AM. Is area around Union Station safe at night? Any cheap lodging recommendations? Thanks
