Los Angeles may have a reputation for high prices, but budget travelers can still find solid, wallet-friendly hotels across the city. The 28 options in this list range from airport properties with free shuttles to walkable Hollywood spots near the Walk of Fame. Most include free Wi-Fi, and several offer extras like outdoor pools, private parking, or 24-hour front desks-so you can save on the essentials without sacrificing location.
Neighborhoods like Hollywood, LAX, Westwood, and Downtown offer the best balance of cost and convenience. Expect to pay roughly $80-$150 per night, depending on season and proximity to major landmarks. For example, the Holiday Inn Express Hollywood Walk of Fame is just a stroll from the Dolby Theatre, while Courtyard by Marriott LAX provides a free 24-hour airport shuttle. The Dixie Hollywood sits near the Metro station-ideal for car-free sightseeing-and Royal Palace Westwood places you two blocks from UCLA.
