2/10 Poor

Holiday Inn is horrible

Worst stay yet. Holiday Inn is horrible. Told there was ample parking. Got there and no spots at all. Had to pay $30 to park across the street. Checked in and room was beside the elevator. All night all you could hear was the elevator or the street noise , sirens and construction. If that didnt wake you up the heater / air conditioner unit was so loud it woke you up every time it came on. Never stay with Holiday Inn again

6/10 Good

Great bang for your buck!

The staff was very friendly and accommodating. The breakfast options were good. Rooms were clean. Hotel a bit outdated, but was great for the price. We got locked out of our room three times as the key wasn’t working. Location was also great. A little detail we loved was that the hand soap was liquid!

It was. But not enough towels. Especially when we tried to use the jacuzzi tub. Also, something mechanical was loud enough that then it turned on it woke us up
