Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Wonderful stay and the staff was very accommodating when requesting a new room due to the sofa bed being unacceptable due to the springs being felt and with no support. I think the hotel needs to replace the bad ones ASAP as it is unacceptable for a 3rd person to have to sleep on very thin, unsupported spring mattress. Especially since we book for a weeks stay. But like I said, the staff was very accommodating meeting our request to switch rooms. Breakfast was good.

I was so disappointed. I've stayed at quite a few Holiday Inns in the past and was always happy with my stay. However, I found the lobby stuffy and unenviting. We ordered ice cream for dessert and for the ridiculously high price, the quality of the ice cream was poor. I was surprised that this location did not offer "free breakfast". I will not recommend this location.

The rooms were ok, two elevators were down at the same time for a few days which was a bit inconvenient. There should be different options for breakfast packages if you don’t offer free breakfast. We don’t all eat large portions so if there were cheaper packages for smaller options of food that would be better. Most staff were friendly enough.
