Holiday Inn Santa Monica CA

What is your Priority Club status?
Platinum Ambassador

Were you (or for multi-stayers are you generally) happy with the hotel/stay?
Very good

Which room did you book and which upgrade did you receive?
Booked King Standard and upgraded to Partial Ocean View on top floor

How are the rooms?
You can tell it is an older property, with fairly noisy air-con and old (but very clean) bathroom. However, the room has been very nicely refurbished

How is the exec. lounge?
N/A

What was good and what was bad?
Good:
Very well located hotel; nicely refurbished
Nice upgrade
Free parking for Platinum members
Coupon for bicycle rental

Bad
Older property with some odd design flaws (most bizarre is having to walk through the parking garage to get to the pool)

Value for $ or Priority Club Points? Would you return?
Stayed on points so excellent value - Santa Monica hotels (inc HI) were very expensive at the weekend
