Stayed there for a week in December. Place is what the below reviews have said. It's a outdoor hotel with an outdoor Continental breakfast. Rooms are small, but updated and bed is comfortable. Overall its clean. You pay for convenience here. I had to be on Wilshire Blvd every day for business so convenience was important. Traffic is terrible in... more

I was a bit disappointed when I arrived because the public areas such as elevator lobby, stairs, were kind of old. But after entering the room I was relieved to find that everything was in good order and it was obvious that the room had been renovated. The beds were very comfortable with nice white sheets and 4 fluffy pillows... more

We stayed in this hotel, just off the 405, for 4 nights. It was very clean and our room was very nicely decorated. Noise was not a problem at all. The location was excellent - 10 mins on the bus to the pier, or 5 mins on the bus to Century City. Getting to Universal was easy too. The taxi... more

As anyone visiting L.A. has discovered, hotel prices can be outrageous to almost insane. That's especially true on the Westside. Having said that, there is one option that is actually a gem in the rough--Holiday Inn Express West Los Angeles. The West Los Angeles location is ideally located on Santa Monica Blvd and the infamous I-405 freeway. It's the perfect... more

This hotel was remarkably convenient. It's just off the 405, so getting there was a snap. UCLA is about 10-15 minutes away, depending on where you're going. (Driving, not walking.) Despite being just off the freeway, noise was no problem. I think it's double-glazed, and the aircon covers the little sound that gets through. I was pleasantly surprised by the... more

We stayed here for a week, and have stayed at dozens of Holiday Inn Expresses around the country. Rooms are pretty clean, though the housekeeping staff can be a bit overzealous in trying to get into your room. The WiFi network is not great in all rooms, but works if you bring your laptop out into the courtyard (which can... more

It's right off the 405 freeway, so don't expect a fancy getaway retreat type hotel. However, you can expect extreme convienence if you don't mind the view. From the outside, the hotel is nothing special. But I found the rooms well decorated, with a spacious bathroom and very comfy sheets. A nice complimentary breakfast is provided (muffins, bagels, hot cinnamon... more

This review has one purpose: To communicate that this hotel/motel is located immediately on the busiest intersection perhaps in all of LA, at the Santa Monica blvd. entrance to the 405 fwy. If you're not from the area, this is like having a motel above the entrance to the Holland Tunnel. As I passed by this hotel, it appeared to... more

I have stayed at this property over 20 times for business reasons. Though it is not flashy the rooms are nice, recently upgraded and the rooms are clean. I would have given this a 4-5 star review if management had not unceremoniously yanked the hotel general manager - Rodney. As a 20-year traveler for business who has stayed at many... more
