Popular with Aussie and Kiwi tour groups, this Ramada outlet has a prime West Hollywood-close-to-Sunset Strip position. Although the exterior is vibrantly colorful, inside the decor shows wear and tear and the guest room air-conditioners can be noisy. However, its location and its party vibe guarantee sold-out holiday weekends. (Halloween is particularly raucous.) Parking is an extra $27 per night—unusually steep for such a modest establishment. Pros: free Wi-Fi, close to nightlife, friendly staff. Cons: street noise and sound-proofing issues, shaded pool, parking fees.
