Sorry for the delay response.
those areas you mentioned are okay, but I wouldn’t recommend them. There is not much to do there, and you would be far from everything. I know you want a place to sleep, but you also need a place to eat. You would have more options closer to LA. Archipelago mentioned WeHo, and i agree with that choice. Hotels are more expensive, but you it would be safer for walking around if you feel like it.
By the way, on your original post, you asked it people leave the city, or if there is an influx of visitors for Easter weekend. I would say both! But on the Saturday that you leave, traffic should not be too bad.
