Three of the four exercise equipment pieces in the tiny gym were broken. I was given a room right off the main lobby that was noisy. Seem to be no recycling whatsoever. The staff was friendly and courteous, but not particularly effective in answering questions or serving my needs

Overall close to our travel seaworld but i have a couple complaints. Housekeeping left trash on my table and dresser, didnt vacuum. The treadmill in the gym doesnt work and has no sign stating that its super tiny literally only weights waist of time. The tv in our room had spots on it like 3 white spots aso it affected everything we were watching. I let staff know immediately after each incident and when i made the complaint to the higher above she said there was nothing noted even after the staff confirmed to me that they noted it so they lied. They didnt not want to dadmit to it and apparently asked maintenence about treadmill and they lied about nothing being broked or unuasable totally disappointing would not book here EVER again

Very quiet being away from the street, very strong water pressure of the shower (maybe LAFD shud learn from Holiday Inn how to get water pressure for their hydrants). Cons: very limited dining tables during breakfast due to a big area dedicated to cushion chairs and small coffee tables.

Liked the warm pool and hot tub, staff at front were really friendly. Breakfast was great, always had a meat option (other hotel often have just biscuits and gravy…not a family favorite!) that was well stocked. All breakfast items were well stocked. Lots of pool towels all the time. Beds were OK as well, shower had a wonderful showerhead and water was warm in the room.

Nice service from staff. Very professional. The property is as pictured. Clean and quiet. We knew about the $24 parking so it wasn’t surprising. It’s a bit annoying but it seems like a standard practice in the area. There is a hotel that you have to drive by to get to the Holiday Inn Parking lot. We saw some sketchy looking people there but otherwise the area was fine. Convenient to get on the highway!
