Never staying hee again
I love Holiday Inn Express hotels but I never will stay in this one again. 
Pros: close to attractions (movie theatre, club, restaurants, shopping); free breakfast; pass to LA Fitness gym across the highway; staff was amicable
Cons: Right in front of I-10 freeway so horrible view; not a lot of families; parking lot was small and inconvenient for big truck parking; bad lighting in parking lot - I did not feel safe; could use some updates - hallways and bathrooms were dated and stuffy
