Holiday Inn Golden Gateway by IHG

Holiday Inn Golden Gateway by IHG

10/10 Excellent
"$35 for breakfast was ridiculous. Also, ridiculous was the area for a tip on the breakfast bill that was self-serve buffet style. A tip is paid for service, and if I’m serving myself, adding that on top of an already ridiculous price is patently stupid."
