Description: Holiday Inns worldwide are not usually luxurious, but they are usually comfortable. This property was no exception. The room was spacious enough for us and the king-sized bed was firm and comfortable. The room had hairdryer, iron, ironing board and coffee pot. It had probably been awhile since the room was redecorated, but it was clean. The desk staff was friendly and processed us in and out efficiently. Breakfast was included in our weekend "Great Rate." Here, breakfast was a cold buffet or $3.00 off any menu item or the full hot buffet. The disadvantage of the location is that it is at the west end of the San Fernando Valley so it is not as convenient as other locations if you are hitting the typical tourist spots in L.A. Our reason for being in L.A. centered in the San Fernando Valley, so we found it to be convenient. There are loads of restaurants along Ventura Boulevard, and the motel is not far from two major shopping malls on Topanga Canyon Blvd.
The Holiday Inn chain offers a number of promotions, including AAA annd AARP rates. The best is usually the "Great Rate" if available. They don''t volunteer the information when you make your reservation, so be sure to ask. An additional hint: Holiday Inn has a "Priority Club" that costs nothing to join. It gives you a "special" rate (but usually other special rates are better), but even better, you get a free room upgrade if rooms are available and early check-in/late check-out. We were given an upgraded room for this stay based on our membership.
