The staff is extremely kind and helpful. They take care of you very well and make sure your stay is enjoyable. Marrisa is amazing, she always goes above and beyond to accommodate your needs if there is any issues! Thank you Holiday Inn Staff!
The room was dirty and smelly, the breakfast cereal had a bug in it, some staff members were engaging and others didn’t seem professional at all. Location was great.
The staff were so nice and professional. The hotel had a lift into the hotel so I didn't have to take the stairs.I have a bad knee and can't climb stairs. It was so useful. My room was very welcoming and clean. Overall it was just what I needed. I would book again.

The hotel seems a little rundown, but it’s a great location and the price is right. Ask for a room that faces south- best view.

Good off street ramp parking, good breakfast, very close proximity to trains and local coffee. Staff was helpful (I signed up for rewards and was able to check in early).
Room was clean and tidy. Staff was attentive to our needs. We tried breakfast on our first morning. It was delicious. Parking was good. Kinda old but it was safe. Drive to the city was usually traffic but the drive was pretty. We always drove by the water.
