Holiday Inn Express & Suites Woodland Hills by IHG
Ventura Boulevard wakes up early. Cars, light, the smell of coffee drifting out of open doors. The sign of Holiday Inn Express & Suites Woodland Hills glows behind a few palm leaves. Three floors. Compact, simple, nothing extra. You walk in, the air is cool, someone at the desk greets you without rehearsed lines.

Location and Surroundings
Woodland Hills sits where the grid of Los Angeles starts to soften. The streets open toward the hills, the light changes after noon. From here, Westfield Topanga is a short drive. Malibu Beach — thirty minutes if you catch the green lights.
A few cafés line the boulevard. There’s a grocery store two blocks away, a pharmacy around the corner. You can actually walk, which is rare here.
Nearby:
Westfield Topanga & The Village – 2.5 mi
Topanga State Park – 6 mi
Universal Studios Hollywood – 20 mi
Malibu Pier – 18 mi
Rooms and Accommodation
Nothing flashy. White bedding, steady air-conditioning, small lamps that give off yellow light. A fridge, microwave, coffee maker — all there. Some rooms open toward the pool, others face Ventura Boulevard. The hum of traffic fades into background noise at night.
| Room Type | Approx. Size | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Standard Room | ~270 sq ft | One or two beds, basic layout |
| Suite | ~375 sq ft | Sofa bed, extra space |
| Two-Bedroom Suite | ~480 sq ft | Family use or long stays |
People often say the walls are thick enough to sleep through early traffic. That might be the best compliment.
Services and Facilities
Breakfast
The lobby smells of toast and coffee by six-thirty. Guests wander in wearing hoodies and sandals. Waffles, cereal, fruit. Nothing complicated — but it works.
Fitness & Leisure
A few treadmills, some free weights, a heated pool that stays open late. The air outside cools after sunset; that’s when most guests swim.
Business
One meeting room, Wi-Fi that rarely drops, a printer near the front desk. Travelers use it for boarding passes and quick emails.
Atmosphere and Style
The building blends with its street — sand-colored walls, clean lines, palms framing the sign. Inside, light bounces off pale tiles. It’s quiet, steady, the kind of place where no one rushes. You see families heading to the beach, business travelers leaving early, someone reading in the breakfast area. The routine feels oddly comforting.
At night, you might hear a TV from another room, the pool pump, a door closing softly. Nothing staged — just normal travel life.
Medical and Emergency Care
Guests can ask for medical help directly in their rooms — a visiting doctor, a short consultation, or a quick check-up without leaving the property. The doctor is independent from the hotel, available to anyone staying there. It’s a small service, yet important for travelers who want peace of mind. Parents with kids, older adults, people recovering after a flight — all can use it. Having care on call removes the stress of finding an urgent-care clinic in an unfamiliar city.
Reputation and Reviews
On Expedia the rating stays around 8 of 10, on TripAdvisor — about 3.7 of 5. Comments mention clean rooms, decent breakfast, and quiet nights. Some note aging carpets, others thank the staff by name.
One short line stands out:
“Two nights. Simple, worked fine. Coffee at 5 AM saved me.”
That about captures it. A hotel that doesn’t pretend — just gives you what you need, then lets you rest.
End note:
If you ever drive through Ventura Boulevard and need a pause, stop here. You’ll sleep, get coffee, maybe take a swim, then move on. Nothing grand — but somehow that’s exactly what makes it work.
