Holiday Inn Los Angeles - Lax Airport, An Ihg Hotel

“Comfortable Hotel close to Airport”

I stay in this hotel for one day during my time in LAX. Comfortable hotel with really big and nice room. WC very big and full of all tools. Good food…and restaurant. The BBQ hamburger with cheddar and bacon was delicious. Tasty French fries. Good position close to Airport.

“A good, serviceable hotel for a stopover”

We stayed at this hotel for two nights in August and then again for two nights in September, before and after an overseas trip. It was fine for our needs. Our booking included the buffet breakfast, which was perfectly adequate. The lobby area is spacious and comfortable. The hotel has an outdoor pool, and the rooms have a little fridge. We had a south-facing room during our first stay and a north-facing room for our second. Planes fly past the hotel all the time, but their sound didn't bother us because the hum of the air conditioning drowns it out. Our only small complaints about the rooms would be that there's not much counter space in the bathroom, especially for two people traveling together, and the taps in the tub/shower are hard to figure out. The hotel restaurant is very expensive so we never ate there (except for the buffet breakfast). We sometimes ate at the McDonald's that's located practically in front of the hotel, and we bought a few snacks and soft drinks at the ARCO store that's just past the McDonald's. There are also a Subway restaurant and a Thai restaurant within easy walking distance. The hotel is in a location that seems very safe. Sometimes there was a panhandler or homeless person in front of the McDonald's or ARCO store, but they didn't give us any trouble. If you arrive at the hotel before the 3 p.m. check-in time, the staff will allow you to check in early as soon as your room is ready. During one of our stays, our flight wasn't leaving until late afternoon so we wanted to linger in the lobby area after the 12 p.m. check-out time, and the staff gave us a washroom key so we'd be able to use the lobby washrooms until we took the hotel's shuttle to the airport. The hotel's airport shuttle is free and is supposed to run on approximately a half-hour schedule, but you can't count on the timing. When we returned to LA on an international flight on a Sunday, we waited at least 45 minutes at the airport's Tom Bradley International Terminal before the first Holiday Inn shuttle came by. The hotel shuttles pick you up on Level 2 at the airport, not on the lower Level 1 where the baggage claim is located. There are red signs saying something like "Hotel Shuttles" at the pickup points. When we arrived in LA in August, we waited in front of Terminal 2 for a shuttle at first, because that's the terminal where our flight had landed, but we watched several Holiday Inn shuttles drive by in a far lane. We finally went and waited for the shuttle in front of the far end of Terminal 3 and were eventually picked up there. When we arrived back in LA in September, we waited for the shuttle at the farthest end of the Tom Bradley International Terminal. That's probably the best place to wait for a shuttle, because it seems that the shuttles are sometimes so full of people wanting to be dropped off at the international terminal that they have no room to pick up new passengers when they're driving past Terminals 1, 2 and 3. (To get to the Tom Bradley International Terminal when you're in front of Terminals 1, 2 or 3, you walk in the same direction as the flow of the vehicle traffic and follow the road as it curves to the left.) You might need to flag down the shuttle because the shuttle stops are usually jammed with various shuttles, and the drivers might not bother to pull in and stop unless they see someone signaling that they need a ride.

“Bed is very comfy, shuttle is really unreliable in my case.”

The bed is comfy for catching sleep after long haul. There is 24 hrs McDonald right in front of the hotel, that comes in handy Unfortunately I haven't got any luck with catching the shuttle bus like many ppl says in Tripadvisor. The shuttle just went passed me, end up I need to take uber to the h… more

“Very good stay before early morning flight”

We stayed for one night at Holiday Inn LAX. They allow 30 minutes free parking for guests who want to unload their car and return the car to the rental agency and then walk to the hotel.

We stayed for one night at Holiday Inn LAX. They allow 30 minutes free parking for guests who want to unload their car and return the car to the rental agency and then walk to the hotel. They had a room for us at 1 pm. The room was large, comfortable, and clean, but it was on the Century Blvd side of the building. The street noise didn’t bother us much, but it would be good to request a room on the other side of the building if street noise is bothersome. We took the 3:45 am shuttle to the airport, and we were impressed with the helpfulness of the driver. We felt that Holiday Inn LAX provides a very good value.
