LA Motel/Hotel/Hostel ??

Alan

Okay, so I'm looking for a decent motel or hotel or hostel to stay at this Friday in LA. Anywhere in it's 70 mile diameter expanse, so long as it's nice. About $50-70/night for a room. Recommendations please!

Similar to:
http://www.elementssf.com/ in SF, and;
http://www.ashleehouse.co.uk/ in London

It occurred to me, also, that I've never seem a magazine similar to Wallpaper in content and reach, and yet aimed in reality. (I know Wallpaper is very much to do with the unattainable, but please bear with me - it is simply illustrative.) Backpacking, dressing, building, whatever, on a budget but in relative 'style'. Anyone know of anything?

Thanks.

Beverly Laurel Motor Hotel

is a great hotel - aqua retro with a pool in the courtyard, a punkish diner - Swingers - in the lower level, and relatively cheap. And its an easy walk to the farmer's market for breakfast. Prices I've seen there range from $75-$95.

Thanks. The Standard is particularly nice. Any further recommendations, please?? Don't stop now!

Any recommendations for NY? I will be there in a few months. (I notice The Standard will open a branch 'soon'.)

And I looked at Orbit, although that's no-where near as nice. Here's a link anyway: http://www.orbithotel.com/

And http://www.farmersdaughterhotel.com - which seems even worse!
