Since all posts tend to just be negative :)

I completed a rental and returned the car to the same fuel level that I received it in. It was not 100%, it was like at the last tick before full. But I got charged for fuel. I had pictures of the dash before and after and I had my gas receipt and everything ready to show all the proof. I got on the phone with customer service - and navigating through the AI to get to a human wasn't even that much of a pain - and he didn't ask for anything. He just said okay we'll have the charge reversed, and so it was within like 4 business days.

I visit a new city and want to abandon my current Cities map to build a city based off the one I’m visiting.

I just got to LA for the first time, and have already been fascinated with the public transit, the density layout, the roads. When I go back home I want to immediately abandon my current map and make an LA-inspired city. This is why I never complete my maps 😭

My husband and I are visiting LA for a long weekend in August. We are staying at a nice hotel in DTLA, but on our last day we are renting a car (edit: from a Hertz location in Downtown) and driving to Perris, CA for the new Hogwarts Express train ride experience. The train thing is on a Saturday afternoon and our flight leaves from LAX close to midnight on Saturday. So we'll have like 6-7 hours in between.

I was thinking we should get a hotel to have a place to shower/rest in between the train experience thing and the flight. We'll be checked out of our DTLA hotel. We're also dropping off the rental car at LAX before the flight. We're fine with paying for a full night even though we'll just be in the room for a couple of hours. Does anyone have any recommendations for a reasonably priced and decent hotel to stay? Anywhere between Perris, CA and LAX will do since we can just drive there. Bonus points if the hotel has free parking, but I know this is LA so that may be a tough ask, and that's okay.

If helpful, I am thinking anywhere around $100-120 range would be ideal, but again I know this is LA.

Thanks!

P.S. The reason we didn't just extend the DTLA hotel a day is because (1) the nightly rate is quite pricey to justify for just a few hours and (2) it would take up too much time to drive all the way back to DTLA and then to LAX rather than just Perris to LAX with a hotel somewhere along the way.
