I just spent all day on hotels.com researching the same thing. I ended up choosing the Doubletree at Santa Monica for $250/night. If you don’t care about being ON the beach, I suggest Culver City. I stayed at the Travelodge there before and it wasn’t real fancy at all but it had everything I needed and the room was bigger than I expected. I don’t know what your exact specifications are so I suggest looking at hotels.com.
