Safe and Clean hotels in L.A.?

Im coming to L.A. for the first time and coming with family. So it is highly doubtful I will be doing any hobby related activities. I'm looking for suggestions on clean hotels that would be in the nicer and safer areas. I figured some of you may have the details on this. Please make some suggestions for me.

Closer to Dodger stadium the better but will have rental car so drive is not a big deal.
