Top Los Angeles Hotel Reviews

Holiday Inn Los Angeles - LAX Airport by IHG

Holiday Inn Los Angeles - LAX Airport by IHG

8/10 Good
"I would describe this hotel as good but not great. The beds were comfortable and the room had a good view from the 12th floor. Check-in was quick and efficient and the lobby is spacious and well set up for those waiting for a flight. There is a regular shuttle to LAX that provides very good service. The decor is a bit sparse and it is not in any way luxurious. But it is a good place to stay before or after a flight. McDonalds, Subway, and Starbucks are all within a very short walk."
