don't expect the Ritz (that's in Pasadena). There are motels and whatnot but Monterey Park is kind of a faceless "town" within LA (although it has probably the largest Chinese population concentration in the city. If you're going to do the San Gabriel Valley, I'd look at Pasadena. Fairly short trip to downtown (although traffic isn't great in the morning commute) and you can also get to Sherman Oaks via a straight shot on freeways (but it'll likely be slow and go depending on the time). It is a ways to LAX though...in that case better to fly into Burbank, and your friend coming from SD will have to come up the 5 instead of 405.
