The Doubletree Los Angeles Downtown offers the consistent experience of a Hilton brand hotel with the added bonus of the Doubletree chocolate chip cookie upon check-in. After staying at one of the off-brand boutique hotels in downtown LA, I can say that you get what you pay for.
The Doubletree is a brisk 30-minute walk from the venue, or you can take a complimentary town car available in the lobby, but take note that the town cars are first-come, first-serve.
