Elmore, you're abolsutely right, I meant L.A. City College, which is at 855 North Vermont Avenue.  The Ramada Hollywood is at 1160 North Vermont Avenue.  

Anyone ever stay there or know anything about the neighborhood?  The deals seem to be too good to be true.

FJL, check on some of the travel sites for reviews of the hotel. When I checked, the Ramada didn't get good reviews at all -- and they charged a lot for parking.

We stayed at the Travelodge, just north a few blocks. It was a fine motel.

I wouldn't walk around at night in any of Hollywood.

It's true, he won't.  I, on the other hand, refuse to watch Rosemary's Baby.  Which means that, if there are any inside reference jokes to the film in the play The Vagina Monologues, I just won't get them.

FJL, by "fine motel" I meant that it is a motel. It is fine, like okay. Not fine like a fine wine.

Is the Travelodge a really nice Travelodge as Travelodges go?  The rates there seem to be about twice the rates at the Ramada Hollywood - lowest of $200 per night at the Travelodge vs. $100 per night at Ramada Hollywood (aka Hollywood hotel).  Although the Travelodge is a little closer to LACC, which is a plus.

Does MAME qualify as a "horror film"?

Released in 1974, it fits the time frame for the TOD.

It's not worth $200 per night. I don't think any hotel is.

I paid about $79.

Maybe the day of the week and the time of the year make a difference.

If I remember correctly, the Ramada is closer. But the Travelodge is still only a five-minute drive from LACC

Ooo!!  These would be good, too!  I'm making a list of things from their website to give to the director.  Thanks a lot for the suggestions! ;D

DR FJL....I don't think the Ramada is the place for you....here is a list of ratings from former guests.

Parking your car is $12 per day.

I don't know the Ramada.  If it's north of Hollywood Blvd. the neighborhood is just fine (it would be close to our beloved House of Pies).  Maybe I'll drive by tomorrow on my way back from LACC.  Even if it's above Hollywood Blvd. it's close to a subway stop, and you could hop on there and get off at Santa Monica Blvd. which is one minute from the theater at LACC.

The Ramada sounds bad to me.  I just checked on expedia.com and there are lots of nice-sounding places for $159 and under.  One to look at is the Magic Castle Hotel - near everything in Hollywood and only a five or ten minute walk to the Highland/Hollywood metro station - from there it's a ten minute ride to LACC (you're let off one minute from the campus and theater).  The two Universal City Hotels, the Sheraton and the Hilton are both around 159, are very nice and are a moment from the North Hollywood Metro station - again, just a short ride to LACC.  Also, check the Continental flight and hotel combos.
