Knights Inn Los Angeles Central / Convention Center Area

Stretched along West Temple Street just north of the 101 freeway, Knights Inn Los Angeles Central sits between the Downtown civic center and Echo Park, a practical base for drivers touring the Convention Center and Dodger Stadium without paying downtown garage rates.

Rooms keep it basic — flat-screen TVs, private bathrooms, and desks — but the private entrances mean guests can park directly outside their door. Family rooms and a vending machine cover longer stays.

Union Station and the Metro Red Line lie roughly a mile east for those skipping the car altogether.
