Hey /trv/ , first time posting on this board. Looking to travel

Went to Los Angeles last year for the first time. Here is my experience:
-Stay close to a metro station
-Check out the hotel's address on Google Maps. See what's around it and use street view to get an idea of the neighborhood.
-It takes ages to get anywhere, so figure out where you want to go and how to get there. (ie bus routes)
-It's still summer there now; it's hot and there are going to be millions of tourists.
-Theme parks are expensive. Figure out which ones you want to visit and if they're worth visiting at all.
-I stayed at a Travel Lodge. It was the best place I stayed at on that leg of my USA trip.
-Some areas are interesting while others are complete shit. You have to listen to the locals where the good stuff is.
-Lot of the touristy areas have millions of the same looking shops selling the same shit.
-Be prepared to walk a lot.

That's everything from the top of my head.

What hostels would you recommend for few nights in LA.
I'm looking for cheap and good location, nothing else, no pub crawl, no kids, no party or anything else childish.

I'm flying into LA from Europe and then proceeding to latin America, and I feel like LA is going to be such a drag.
Fucking millions of people and no useful way to get around, how there isn't already like 17 metro lines, numerous trams and buses? Hard to think everyone there is prepared to drive, I guess people there just stay put?
What a shithole when I come to think of it. Luckily I'm out of there quickly.
