<p>At $145, you might as well point him in the direction of the Hilton Checkers—closer to the Music Center (a healthy walk of a 4 minute bus ride, REALLY nice and they periodically run online specials for around $150. I’ve suggested this to friends from Italy and they really liked it. The rack rate is kind of high ($280), but hunt around the internet and you may score it at the discount rate</p>
