Guide Review – Holiday Inn Express Hollywood

 

The Holiday Inn Express Hollywood is a small hotel with 94 rooms located just north of the Hollywood & Highland shopping and entertainment center, next to the old Holiday Inn Hollywood, which is now the Hollywood Heights Hotel. This can be confusing for people who stayed in the old Holiday Inn.

The rooms are arranged around a courtyard pool, and on my visit, I could clearly hear a singer rehearsing opera arias in another room across the courtyard in preparation for the nearby Feast of San Gennaro Italian Festival.

The room was stylish and comfortable, with a nice work desk and lounge area. There is also a mini-fridge and coffee maker in the room. I appreciated that the windows open, even if only six inches, since I prefer to sleep with fresh air, rather than air conditioning when it’s nice out. This is especially true when it’s an under-the-window AC unit like they have here. They’re always too cold when they’re on and too hot when they’re off.

The parking is pricey, but gives you in and out privileges. There is no concierge, but the front desk staff is very helpful and friendly. There’s a newsstand in the lobby with a few sundries in case you forget anything.

The pool is outdoors, but it’s really cramped and doesn’t have a lot of seating, so if you’re looking for a nice hotel to lounge around the pool, this probably isn’t it, but for a comfortable place to stay convenient to Hollywood attractions and nightlife, it’s a pretty good deal, especially if you take advantage of the Entertainment Card discount.

Who should host the Oscars? – CNN.com

side_oscar

The Oscars are still so far down the road that it should get a Drama award by February 2012. So and so drop out, maybe this Starlet can produce it, or maybe Star Jones. In any case find a producer fast and move on Hollywood. I’m sure I can find one down the street at Vivid Entertainment to run this show.
