If You're Staying at the Holiday Inn City Center...Post Here

The employees in this hotel were super nice & helpful. We arrived at 11 am on Wednesday and were allowed to check-in a few hours early. The housekeeping staff did a great job. The valet service was quick. And an employee even printed out our boarding passes with no hassle.

We didn't hang out at the hotel because we were either at the con or touring L.A. Although I believe the bar on the 2nd floor was packed each time I passed by it.

The best thing about our room was the shower. The water pressure was so strong, it became my personal massager. I must've taken hour-long sessions. The drainage was so efficient, not an ounce of accumulation. And the hot water never ran out.

Also the short walk to the con was definitely worth it.

Start saving for CV Everyone!

 

I cant agree with Miarama more...

The showers were awesome, great for a prego woman who walked around all day!!!

The staff was excellent and room service was efficient and so was the restaurant. I had no complaints, except for the channels on the TV, they sucked, thank goodness for laptops...lol.

I was glad to meet some of you in the bar, it was nice to put a face with all the verbage on the threads.

Cant wait to meet you all again at C5!!!
