I'm thinking about traveling to LA for Anime Expo 2008, but if I do, I need to plan now & reserve my rooms ASAP. What hotels are close by the convention center? Also, I'm planning on seeing more of the sights while I'm out there. Do I need to have my own car, or is there a good public transportation system out there? The last time I went to LA it was for a school trip & we had our own vans. Even if I don't get to go to AX, I'm still planning on going back out there at some point in time & these things are good to know. I try to take the public transportation when I can, since it saves money (money that I can use towards silly keepsakes & better hotel rooms).

Check out The Standard downtown. It attracts a young, fun crowd. We don't have a geat public transportation system, but it can you about to the tourist areas. The subway will bring you to Hollywood and Highland (shopping), Universal (movies/amusement park), Wilshire (museums), etc.
There is a van system in effect to get you to the airport.

The Hotel Figueroa is the closest and is rather inexpensive, but safe and clean. Some of the others mentioned are a little more expensive and will have free vans.
RTD has not existed for many many years. The public transportation system is MTA. You can take MTA's buses or light rail to the Convention Center (or the hotel van).

If you really want 1 hotel, I would stay at the Embassy Suites in Downey. However, I don't understand what you mean about we can only afford to get one hotel. When you go to LA you stay at one hotel and then when you go to Disneyland you stay at another hotel. Or you stay in Anaheim the entire time and drive to LA.

Bonaventure has good on-line rates.
RTD is great downtown. Leave the car at home
