Just wondering if folks commuting to LAX can offer some suggestions (other than don’t do it!) regarding recommended hotels, crashpads, costs, any other suggestions and tips, etc.

LAX seems harsh for commuters, as the entire surrounding area is high-crime, the hotels aren’t the easiest to get to, not much to do, and e pensive.

Also, how much flying are you doing out of SNA and ONT, especially those on reserve? Any recommendations for the best way to get to those airports is also appreciated.
