6. )If you want to be near the action then this is not the hotel for you - book one near West Hollywood, or around one of the beaches (Santa Monica etc.)Finally to the negative - a grudge about the hotel staff, who added another day to my previously web booked room - on the phone (a day after the original booking) they immediately confirmed the booking, but as it so transpired - at a higher rate (despite asking them to make sure it is the same price) - unfortunately they didn't budge and refused to refund the difference - this is BAD for a well known and trusted brand like Holiday Inn.
