How are the rooms?
Corporate design that could be more fun
Clean
Room with comfortable bed, desk
Bathroom with small bathtub (not a big fan of the water flow that can not really be adjusted)
White Citrus amenities (I must say I like very much the smell).
Keurig coffe machine.
Television set with impressive selection of cable channels.
View over Hollywood hills

How is the exec. lounge?.
N/A
What was good and what was bad?.
Good
- At check-in: "Would you like points or welcome bag? Oh, I will give you both and a free Diet Coke"
- Very friendly staff
- Outdoor pool
- Convenient location
Bad
- No electrical outlet near the bed (strange that bedside lamp has no electrical outlet included in the base, when the desk lamp has some).
- Breakfast is ok (even if not at the standard of European Holiday Inn Express hotels, serving more fresh/quality products). It is always strange to have to use plastic plastic plate and cutlery
- Breakfast is served until 9.30 am (which means at this property that guests are required to leave the restaurant at 9.30am)
Value for $ or Priority Club Points? Would you return?
The hotel costs 40,000 points a night!
