Holiday Inn Los Angeles - LAX Airport by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"Front desk person was excellent, way better than the Westin near by. I wish I had catch his name. The room was a little rundown and didn’t feel super clean but it was good enough for one night until our next flight. The restaurant downstairs had a really good food. Shuttle to airport runs every 30 min and was convenient. Overall it was all good for what we needed. "
