Hotel Recommendations for LA Lit & Toy Show
 

Pelicans,

I am looking for hotel recommendations for the LA Lit and Toy Show that has good, safe parking and is also reasonably close (inasmuch as distance ever matters in LA traffic ;) ) to the Related Events, in particular Wilhoit (Long Beach), Tony Callas (Torrance), European Collectibles (Costa Mesa) and Autokennel (Costa Mesa).

Before you respond 'duh! the LAX Hilton!!!' (where the actual Lit and Toy Show is being held); I am looking for a hotel in the Marriott family so I can use my laboriously accumulated Marriott points. The Marriott website certainly shows many options, from super-ultra fancy to "hard to hide that it's just a notch above ugh", but I'd love locals' input

Much appreciate any guidance.

In terms of location, Torrance is the location centrally located to the places you mentioned. The city itself is a bit boring with not much to do, but Callas is right there a few min. away. Get on Prospect and go up Avationa nd you can be at LAX in 15 min or less sometimes. No need to get stuck on fwy. Hey, Redondo, Manhattan, Hermosa beach is only 10-15 away.
