Flight
The Lodge is a very short distance from LAX and this will also be the most economical option
Hotel
This 1924 flatiron stunner built in the Renaissance revival-style beauty was considered a skyscraper when it was first erected. Hovering at just six stories what it lacks in modern day altitude it more than makes up for with old world charm. It's close proximity to the Lodge is also a major plus ;) A rich and romantic past has awarded the Culver Hotel a distinguished role in cinematic history, (as well as National Historic Landmark status) having hosted cast members from iconic movies such as Gone with the Wind and The Wizard of Oz to modern day productions, and even friends and family of Johnny and Carlo! Film studios, Downtown Culver City restaurants, theaters and art galleries are just at your doorstep.
Hotel
Cute little motel on Mother's "Beach" in Marina Del Rey, about 10 minutes from the lodge. Also very close to Waterside Marina Del Rey, a neighborhood mall with a smattering of restaurants, a blowdry bar, and a Sephora for anyone that might want to get professionally spiffed up
House Or Rental
Los Angeles is larger than the state of Rhode Island and traffic here is NO JOKE! When looking for a house to book make sure to search in the Mar Vista, Marina Del Rey, and Venice areas.
Hotel
This is the closest nice hotel to the Lodge. It's right smack in the middle of the Villa Marina Marketplace Mall which has two movie theaters, tons of dining options, a grocery store, and a pharmacy.
Hotel
traveling on a tight budget? This modest little motel is super affordable, is walking distance to the Lodge, has a pool, and breakfast is included! (but don't miss the opportunity to grab a bite across the street at Rockenwagner)
