The night staff were great. The room was extremely damp and couldn't get the temperature to regulate the dampness. It was so late in the evening/early morning, it was just dealt with. Breakfast options were good. Busy weekend limited parking but excellent security.

Go elsewhere!

Normally I like Holiday Inn but this hotel was unattractive with a crazy parking lot. Check in took over 30 minutes. The room smelled like mildew and the second bed had crumbs on it. I didn't eat breakfast but I did make coffee and it was a pain. There were 2 machines that made 1 cup at a time and wasn't quick. I can't imagine if it was busy... No coffee for you.
