Holiday Inn LOS ANGELES - LAX AIRPORT by IHG

Close to the airport and a main road, the smoking area in the backyard offers views of the sunset and planes landing. There's a 24-hour McDonald's and a convenience store with a gas station right outside. The rooms are clean and, although the facilities are a bit old, they are relatively comfortable.

The deposit refund is very slow; I still haven't received it even though I checked out more than ten days ago.

I didn't take many photos, just one of the breakfast. The fruit quality was poor, the blueberries were all rotten, and the strawberries looked unappetitive. However, the eggs, potatoes, and bacon were good, and hot water was available. There's an airport shuttle service with two vehicles operating in rotation, which is quite convenient. The 'Old Mexico' guys (referring to the staff) help with luggage and will ask for tips. Check-in was very unpleasant. They demanded a $100 deposit and immediately stated that UnionPay wasn't accepted. They said UnionPay/Visa credit cards without chips weren't allowed, nor were debit cards with chips, and even credit cards linked to Apple Pay were rejected. I told them I didn't have US dollars and asked if an equivalent amount in RMB would be acceptable. They made a call and then said no, without offering any solutions. As a heavily pregnant woman who had just flown for over ten hours, I was incredibly frustrated. Just as I was about to ask where I could withdraw money nearby, I spotted an ATM in the corner of the lobby. My internal thought was, 'If you had just told me there was an ATM here earlier, we wouldn't have gone through all this hassle!' Anyway, the problem is theirs, I'm just stating the issues, nothing else. The room isn't soundproof, and combined with jet lag, it was very uncomfortable. The carpet was old and visibly dirty. Other aspects of cleanliness were good, and the toiletries were decent. Finally, at check-in, I was told I couldn't get IHG points due to booking channel restrictions. I was too tired to argue at the time. For those who care about points, be aware; I originally booked here for the points. I wouldn't recommend it.

Close to the airport with a free shuttle bus. The succulent garden by the entrance is beautiful.

The airport shuttle service is quite convenient, and there's a McDonald's right outside. The breakfast was pretty good, definitely better than other hotels in the same price range. It takes about 25 minutes by taxi to get to the city center. Perfect timing too, with the Los Angeles factory fire these past few days! 🔥😂

Just a few minutes from the airport, this hotel has a ton of rooms. The only downside is the parking, which is quite pricey at $45 USD per night, not including tax. The rooms are well-equipped, but when I booked through Trip.com, breakfast wasn't included and had to be purchased separately!

Pretty standard, mainly chose it for the convenience of watching the World Cup. It's easy to get back to and very close to where I rented the car. Facilities: Overall, quite good. Environment: Also very good.

This is our second time staying at this Holiday Inn. Before checking in, due to our travel plans, we needed to store our luggage at the hotel for several days. We had inquired with nearby hotels but didn't get clear information. Today, with the help of Kevin at the front desk, we paid $100 to store three pieces of luggage for five days. This might be due to different policies, as we're used to the service in our home country. Nevertheless, we're very grateful for his help in checking and ultimately agreeing to store our luggage. The breakfast, as always, is excellent. We'll be staying at the Holiday Inn again when we return to Los Angeles in a couple of days.
