This a Mapquest link from the airport to where most of the people are staying in Hollywood on the beach. it's only 15-20 kms away from the airport, and it's about 10 to the port--so pretty close. The hotels along the beach strip are boutique style, but tons of beaches, bars, restaurants etc and lots of peopel to share cabs with.

Nice ! I'll see you there. When do you arrive ? My plane should arrive at 14:50 (Air Canada) on January 21.

Conrad wrote:Yeah. Unless a booking is made directly through a property's official website, I don't think it's ever 100% confirmed. I'm staying at Hollywood Beach Hostel, I looked at their website but it was about $20 cheaper through Hostelworld, so I went with that option, but emailed them to confirm. I've used them numerous times before without incident, but that one incident makes me not trust them now. I'd hate to arrive there only to be told they can't accommodate me and have nowhere to stay because everywhere else is full!

Sure thing. Although I will warn you: when it comes to traveling, I tend to be a lot less "metal", and a lot more "I'm in a hoodie and sweat pants with headphones on; leave me the eff alone". But I can get over that for the sake of camaraderie.
Edit: missed your comment about the show. I'll see what my schedule is like; that sounds awesome.

so whats the point of this wall of text ? call the hotel book directly or use their website to book if you see a cheaper rate online mention it hotels will try their best to price match cause even if you find a 10% discount thats still 15-40% more money than we would have gotten. i may or may not have worked front desk in a hotel for the past 6.5 years ( kill me now please )

I'm pretty sure the final paragraph does suggest it. May not be the intention, but the way it's worded does imply it. However, that's not important as like I said, I'm staying at a hostel where I'm fully aware and understand that my overall experience lies in part with whoever else happens to be staying in the dorm room.
