We will never book a stay at Holiday Inn, City Center
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 11/30/07
My parents booked a room at Holiday Inn, City Center to avoid driving late at night following a Staples Center event. The keys that the surly and rude clerk gave to them to their room, however, did not work. The second set that the clerk gave to them also did not work. About 45 minutes later, the clerk, clearly irritated, then had security assist them for the third attempt; security was also unable to open the room. It turns out that the room that they were trying to open already had an occupant who was very frightened and alarmed at the commotion! The Holiday Inn did not help my parents into another room, and did not apologize. I have tried to speak with at least 3 managers at the hotel who refuse to return phone calls. This place should be avoided.
