Hollywood hotels... what area? And San Diego...

If I can talk DH into it, i'm planning a US road trip for 2022. Gives me something to do as currently poorly lol.

We would want to do 2 nights in the Hollywood area. To do Walk of Fame, Warner Bros, The Grove, Santa Monica Pier etc. Is 2 nights enough? What area is best to look at? We will have a car, so parking would be essential (free or not) but not sure what area to stay in.

Also, we want to do San Diego, I have pencilled in a minimum of 5 nights... is this enough? Dh went when he was in the Navy, and has always been desperate to get back (this is my bargaining chip lol)

Thanks!

The Grove and Santa Monica are not in the Hollywood area. With 2 days you'd be looking at something like Day 1 - Warner Bros and the Hollywood area and then Day 2 drive to The Grove and then onto Santa Monica or vice versa. West Hollywood would be slap in the middle of Santa Monica and Hollywood. Alternatively you could stay in Hollywood or Santa Monica which would mean you are 'local' for one day and travelling the next. Hollywood is Leicester Square-esque so busy, touristy, a bit tacky etc.. Santa Monica is beachfront. West Hollywood is walkable, lots of bars and restaurants and not as touristy as Hollywood.


I think that's fine for SD. We had 3 nights and maybe could have done another but we were satisfied with what we saw. Lots of people here adore SD so I'm sure you'll get lots of better advice! I recommend taking the boat of to Coronado Island! We stayed at the Springhill Suites Bayfront and thought it was a great location.

5 nights in San Diego is a nice amount of time 👍

The Tangerine in Burbank is often recommended here. We stayed there a few years ago and liked the more laid back atmosphere for of the area, I’ve booked to go again next year. We parked for free and used Uber to get to Universal Studios and Walk of Fame/Hollywood and Highland. You can easily walk to Warner Bros. from The Tangerine.

As landandworld suggested, group the attractions you want to go to so you’re not driving back on yourself. You haven’t mentioned Griffith Observatory as somewhere you want to go to. There are great views of LA from up there and a good view of the Hollywood sign. We even did a little hike before the observatory opened.
