a good choice
I like holiday Inn express and this one did not disappoint.Rooms were large and comfortable and ,in typical american style, provided two large beds per room.Breakfast was very reasonable and a special mention for the ever-smiling employee in charge of the breakfast area.We did not try the pool but it looked like an an excellent facility.The hotel is an easy 5 minute walk from the metro system , which can whisk you just about anywhere in LA.The station is right on hollywood boulevard, location of the kodak theatre and the chinese cinema.
The hotel's combination of cost , location and quality must be hard to beat.
