Holiday Inn Express West Los Angeles-Santa Monica, an IHG Hotel

"Overall, great experience. The breakfast wasn’t thrilling, but it’s also a hotel. Mya was very accommodating and made checkout easy. The garage is a little tough to get into, but pretty easy to leave from. Good access to local food and very close to UCLA! The 4th floor patio was easily the highlight. Check it out!"

"We needed a place to stay. At the end of the day we checked in with this place & the person in charge gave us a discounted price including breakfast. The people working there gone above & beyond to accommodate us, specially Becky & Kandra. We were so happy to find this place & we were welcomed by the people working there. The room was clean & had everything to make sure you a comfortable stay. The breakfast had more choices than other places we stayed. The location was centrally located near a major Freeway. I highly recommend this Hotel to everyone."

"I recently stayed at the Holiday Inn Express West Los Angeles-Santa Monica. The rooms were clean and the breakfast was satisfactory. A standout feature for me was the complimentary and secure parking, which is a significant advantage in this area. It's reassuring to know that your vehicle is safe during your stay. Additionally, everything matched the images and description provided online, always a pleasant aspect. it was a positive experience. I would recommend this hotel for a short stay in Los Angeles, close to Santa Monica."

"Staff was incredibly friendly and helpful at all times. The room was really nice and clean with a spacious bathroom. Our only gripes were that the tv was not centered to the bed, so we had to look over to enjoy the tv which was mildly annoying (I know, it's such a first world complaint). The window view was of the very drab 405 exit ramp with an empty lot next to it. The room also isn't very soundproof. It's pretty noisy, both from the freeway (so. many. police sirens and honking) and any other people walking outside our door. However, aside from those things, the location is probably this hotel's strongest suit. You are just walking distance from a lot of excellent places, particularly Sawtelle street, where it's tough to get street parking when the night life starts to pick up. We skipped the free breakfast in favor of walking over 10 minutes to the main Sawtelle restaurants and eating there. Shin Sen Gumi is also 5 min away for an excellent ramen spot. Ubering around to other places like the Century Mall and Santa Monica Pier didn't take too long either since we could avoid the major freeways and take the side streets, so we managed to cram a lot of activities in our two days here just from the ease and proximity of the hotel's location to everything else. Overall, we were very happy with the location and service. The room layout was strange and could be better soundproofed, but nothing that will prevent us from booking at this hotel again the next time we're in LA."

"The location is good, lots of amenities nearby and not too far from the usual touristy areas. The rooms are clean and comfy, and the staff is phenomenal! Every single one of the staff I spoke to was friendly, helpful and seemed happy to work there. Breakfast was good, standard fare. The street and neighboring rooms are on the noisier side at times, but mellow enough to drown into the background. I would definitely stay there again."
