1) This 1925 hotel is located right in the heart of Downtown LA. Grammy Museum, Nokia Center and Staples Center are neighbours. The Financial district and the Jewellery district are a short walk away. It is next to a large shopping mall and the metro is just a 7-10 minute walk away, which means that connectivity to most of LA and its suburbs is easy. Many supermarkets, shops and restaurants are also within walking distance. In summary, prime downtown location.
2) This is a 4 star that is designed for couples and families. However, due to its proximity to the financial district even the business people seem to prefer it. Decked up in a Spanish Mediterranean design, this hotel has a classic and rich look. It comes with a verandah poolside lounge, outdoor pool, lush garden landscape and in-house restaurants.
3) The in-house restaurant serves great breakfast and dinner for an additional fee.
4) The rooms are large and come with all modern facilities that befit a 4 star hotel.
5) Complimentary wi-fi is available all through the hotel and the speeds are great. If you wish, you could upgrade to a higher speed for an additional fee.
6) They offer dry cleaning, laundry and other housekeeping services that come in handy for longer stays.
7) The front desk is super helpful. They helped me with free printouts, maps, directions, luggage storage, parcel delivery and much more.
8) The hotel also offers its parking facilities, though it charges an additional fee for it.
9) While I was staying there, I noticed people from all over the world staying here: Indians, Chinese, Americans, South Americans, Mexicans, Europeans and others.
If you are a holidaying couple or family and looking for a comfortable hotel in downtown LA, I would definitely recommend that you take a look at Hotel Figueroa Downtown LA. Apart from great value for money, you will get prime location and a great ambience.
Congratulations Sir :)

Of course. But, you will get it on entry. :-)
ReplyDeleteHi.. I like these pics .. I just want to ask you if i could use one of the pics of channapatna toys for my work.
ReplyDeleteDear Sankara - Apologies for the follow up question but I heard that upon entry at the HK immigration you need to one needs to show a return ticket within with a date less than or equal to 14 days. In my case, I will be overspending in HK by 2 days (16 days in total). Even though I am planning to go to Macau in between but during the first entry, will the immigration officer at HKIA ask for a return ticket with date less than 14 days?
ReplyDeleteHI.
ReplyDeleteMY DAUGHTERS PASSPORT WILL EXPIRE IN THE NEXT 2 MONTHS. CAN I TAKE HER FOR A WEEK ??? I HAVE A VALID PASSPORT FOR THE NEXT 5 YRS
I think it will be risky. You should check with the embassy first. Normally, countries expect at least 6 months left on the passport.
ReplyDeleteIt should be fine as long as you tell the immigration officer precisely what you just told me. A lot of tourists to Hong Kong do that and that is normal.
ReplyDeleteWhich picture are you interested in and what work is this if I may ask?
ReplyDeleteIve not decided exactly which one but one of the pictures which shows artisan making the product. I am intending to promote the art and craft of toymaking in India. It is in this interest that i intended to use the pics
ReplyDeleteThough we have been to channapatna to the toy making factory , we didnt take images then.
ReplyDeleteHi,
ReplyDeleteNice list. How do you think about Kumara Parvatha trek. Is it moderate level or too risky.

Dear Sankara,
ReplyDeleteHow critical is the requirement of employment/self employment? I am just quitting job and want to travel before i again start job hunt, or business..
Is the credit card mandatory? A good debit card or traveller's check wont do?
Hi Shankara I am planning to travel from Bangkok to Hong Kong for 2 days.What all I will need other than BKK-HKG return ticket,Passport and credit card ?
ReplyDeletehi shankara I m planning to tourist in macau.can I get on arrival visa and what documents I need pls help thx
ReplyDeletehi sankara I want to visit in macau for 2 weeks can I get on arrival visa and what document I need thx pls help
ReplyDeletein addition, may be, they will ask you for hotel bookings. Just make sure you have some names ready.
ReplyDeleteIt is not at all risky. It is good fun and slightly steep at one stretch, but nothing that I would call risky or difficult.
ReplyDeleteoh alright!
ReplyDeleteReplied to your other comment.
ReplyDeleteYes, you can. Return ticket, hotel bookings and a credit card is sufficient.
ReplyDeleteCan you drop me an email at sankaracs@beontheroad.com with details and requirements.
ReplyDeleteA good debit card and travelers check will do. And employment is not a key thing as long as they dont get the feeling that you might stay back and start searching for a job illegally.
