Commerce, where to stay?

Thinking about making a weekend trip to LA to play some poker. Commerce is the best place in LA for mid limit holdem (10-20 to 40-80), right?


Where is the best hotel to stay? I rank the following in order of importance to me:


1. Cost

2. Closeness

3. Cleanness

4. High Shower Pressure


TIA.

stay right there 240 rooms, for 79 bucks i think. or five minute walk up the road in the shopping center is a nice place but i dont remember the name. too many pimps and hookers in the regular motels around l.a.

ray,


I think the shopping center you're thinking of is the "Citidel"


DR,


Why would you stay anywhere but the Commerce? All you have to do is go downstairs and play. I reccomend room 532. If my Oreos are still there, you can have them.

The Crowne Plaza at the Commerce Casino is sold out til the end of February due to the LA Poker Classic. If you aren't going til after that, you can stay there.


The place 5 minutes away is the Wyndham. If you book it through Expedia.com, you can get a rate of $60 on the weekends. The Commerce Plaza hotel is right across the street from the Casino and has rates from $49, but it looks like a dive. Down the road a ways is a Super 8 which a friend of mine has stayed in. He said it's clean and comfortable, about $50.


Then there's always Crystal Park, about 20 minutes away. $30 weekdays and $40 weekends if you get the Hollywood Park rate.

There's also a Ramada nearby that I have stayed at when the Wyndam was sold out. It reasonably nice and reasonably priced.

I've never played in LA before, but I'd heard at the tables in Las Vegas that it was expensive and hard to get rooms at the Commerce. Guess it just depends on your timing. Anyway, thx to everyone for the info.

When I went there last week with Clarkmeister and D.Andrew, we didn't even make room reservations in advance. We simply walked into the poker room, looked for a manager, and asked for poker room rates. We got them.

Too many pimps and hookers? Hell, there can never be too many.
