This property was overpriced, in my opinion. Compared to other Holiday Inn properties we have visited in Ottawa, Bellingham, Seattle, and Southampton, UK, this property was rather spartan. One office chair to sit on! The door into the apartment did not close easily and the security lock came off in my hands. I am not sure that we will stay here again.
