This Holiday Inn was clean, well equipped and well staffed. My room was spacious and clean. The Dove shampoos and soaps were very nice. The staff was polite and helpful. I had a problem with the internet. I received a call back from a staffer who walked me through the steps to get online. There is coffee and cold water available in the lobby. I would definitely choose this hotel again
