My first Los Angeles motel stop was Santa Monica, $113.  A lot compared to biker sites, but one doesn't do this every day.

Santa Monica has some classy high-rises.  I ate in a multistory food court where escalators took folks many places.

Next day lots of folks were out exercising along the beach.
