I travel to Los Angeles for one week every month for business. I am a very loyal customer to almost any establishment once I notice good service. I used to stay at the Holiday Inn Buena Park but once I achieved platinum status, it was as if the service went to trash. So on my last trip on December 16th, I decided to try another Holiday Inn. ( I like the perks you earn with them ) I chose this H.I. because of two things, I like Orange County and I like the fact that it was a newer hotel. A lot of hotels are old and to me, smell of water damage or mildew.
Anyway, the cost is comparable to Buena Park. The location of the hotel is farther from my business but hey, your in Southern California. Upon arrival, the staff recognized my platinum status although I was not offered an upgrade. The room was very nice. On this trip I took my spouse who agreed as she is very picky about hotel rooms. The room I requested had a jacuzzi tub in the room. You could actually watch TV ( flat screen with your own directv box ) from the jacuzzi. Kinda awesome. The room also had a couch with a fold out bed. the room was divided by a marble border between the bed and the couch. There was the standard desk and chair as well as the dresser. There was a refrigerator into the dresser but no microwave. Bummer. One thing I noticed about this room was that the window was either malfunctioning or not installed properly. There was ample noise seeping through it. The hotel is a frisbee throw from the highway and you could easily hear traffic. As is the case for the Holiday Inn I frequent in Dallas, there are ice machines on alternating floors. I guess if I am on the "other" floor, I could use the exercise.
Seeing that I am somewhat of a "gym junkie", I decided to check out the fitness center. It was decent but I was not thrilled about the fact that you have to go outside to get to it and the pool. Sunny California, right?

All in all this may be my new Holiday Inn for my stays there. I plan to go back in January 2012. Let's see if they can win my loyalty.

My FAVORITE Holiday Inn.
Always greeted with a warm smile by familiar faces! Everyone goes out of there way to make sure you are having a great stay. The rooms are beautiful, clean and quiet! I enjoy the Directv channels including HBO on the flat-screen TV. There is a nice bar and a great place to have breakfast in the morning in the lobby area. Aside from the above average staff of this hotel, is the location! I can't think of a better location when doing business in Southern California.
LA, Orange County and the Inland Empire.. It is close to everywhere I need to be!

We are here this week for 3 nights. Got here and had no problems with check in. Lobby was very nice and staff was very friendly. We are staying in a spa room,and it is very nice!!
Not only a full bathroom, but the spa tub too. The rooms also have a fridge, direct tv and free internet connections.
Great night sleep, and a very quiet room.
would stay here again.
There is plenty of restaurants around too, so really don't have to drive far.

The room was quiet and the breakfast was good. I wold stay here again.
