Originally Posted By Big Thunder Santa Monica is actually a bit far from Tarzana when you consider traffic w/ So. CA freeway systems. My wife works in Tarzana [even though it's 40 miles from us too ;( ] She recommended the Marriott in Woodland Hills CA, however when I looked up rates they were over $200 a night. The first hotels that came to my mind were the Sheraton or Hilton at Universal Studios [Universal City CA] Good hotels centrally located in the areas you mentioned. I searched expedia by choosing the dates Nov. 21-23 and the Hilton Universal is $129 a night, I have been to events there and it is a nice hotel. That's a deal for that hotel in my opinion, the Sheraton was $169 There is a hotel in Studio City called "Sportsman's Lodge" I have never stayed overnight there, but have been to many events/meetings/dinners there. It is a nice place. A bit older, has a hunting theme, but it's in a nice area, popular place, good service. $126 a night Coast Anabelle Hotel in Burbank CA looks nice, and it's close to Disney studios, kinda cool to see the mouse house from the freeway, $129 stay away from Van Nuys, North Hollywood area, most of the hotels there are seedy. Hollywood is a mixture, there are decent hotels, but they are $$$$ the less costly ones are the seedier ones in Hollywood. I also don't recommend the Burbank Radisson, a business associate told me he stayed there one night and complained that it was one of the worst hotels he ever stayed at. good luck

Originally Posted By LuLu Woodland Hills, Canoga Park, Reseda, Encino... these could be about 10 minutes depending on time of day you drive! The Woodland Hills zone on Priceline is probably your best bet. You could add Studio City if you're willing to drive a bit.

Originally Posted By Big Thunder about a 10-15 minute drive from Tarzana is Universal Studios, you can either go inside the theme park/studio tour, or just hang out at City Walk. Lunch or dinner @ Hard Rock is cool there. about a 15-20 minute drive... On every third Sunday of the month, Carolwood Pacific opens Walt's barn at LA Live steamers in Griffith Park Los Angeles. After visiting the barn and taking a free ride on a scale train, wander over to the carousel that Walt used to take his daughters to on Saturdays which sparked the idea for Disneyland.
Originally Posted By LuLu I kinda figured that was what you meant, DyG, but there's really NOTHING that's 10 minutes from ANYWHERE in SoCal!! BT is right about Universal City tho, it's probably the closest thing...
