No Coffee Maker - Really?
The shuttle to the hotel took...forever! Please understand that most LAX hotels use a common shuttle. So, that means the shuttle constantly stops throughout the LAX terminals and at different hotels. The Holiday Inn LAX shares a shuttle with La Quinta. Still, it stops constantly and took at least 30 minutes (after I waited apx. 20 minutes) to get to the hotel. If the hotel just picked me up, it would take 5 minutes. Upon arrival, the lobby is small, awkward, and just feels off. The desk staff was nice. The room was awkward, with white tile in the entrance. The room was cramped. There was no coffee maker. Wow...The website says this "amenity" is available in some guest rooms. Really? In 2012? Even in much nicer hotel rooms where they really, really want you to pay 12 dollars for a pot of coffee they will provide a coffee maker. It is the standard now and not acceptable to not provide one in every room.
Again, I recommend that you do not stay here if you need an LAX hotel. Do a little digging and try to find a hotel that has its own shuttle. And a coffee maker.
