Default Re: Accomodations Near Bicycle Casino/Commerce in LA

I've heard that the rooms at the Commerce itself are very nice, if a little expensive. I don't know what the poker room rate is these days. Whenever I visit Commerce I stay at the Wyndham Gardens. It's a couple of blocks away and the Commerce will shuttle you back and forth which is not that much of a hassle. It is a very nice place with good rooms and comfortable beds. A decent restaurant/bar with room service. What I really like is that it gets me off the property so that I'm not tempted to back down to play when I really want to go to sleep. Do not stay at the place diagonally across from the Commerce (the Commerce Hotel, I think) no matter what.

The Ramada Limited is right across from the Bike and is just that: limited. The most you can say for it is that it's clean and minimally acceptable. Go thru the Bike's concierge desk and they get you a $49 room rate. When the airlines allowed 2 carry-ons I used to bring my own pillow when I stayed there. If you want a big, fluffy pillow that's not the place for you. Although it's not a great neighborhood I've never felt unsafe crossing the street even at 4 am. There is another place down the street from the Bike, I forget the name. When I checked in the clerk, from behind bullet-proof glass, asked if I was renting by the day or the hour. I requested by the day and as far away from the other people as possible. I can't recommend that place.
