Property is in a great location. Main areas such as lobby and restaurant are well maintained and seem updated. Only complaint about this hotel is the rooms are in desperate need of an upgrade. The beds are VERY comfortable which is one of the reasons we stay here, but the rooms need new carpet and tile in the bathrooms. This stay, there was a big stain in the corner of my room. Staff is friendly!!

Rooms clean, beds/pillows comfortable. Restaurant food and service excellent however wine selection could be improved. A bit dissatisfied that shuttle service wasn’t available to us at 4 am. Selected this holiday inn for proximity and because it advertised shuttle service when my flight got cancelled
