We had a great stay at this holiday inn. It was clean, comfortable, and the staff was welcoming and friendly. Only issue was only one elevator was working so it was a long wait for the elevator. I liked that they had a good variety of breakfast food. Thanks for a great stay

I made the booking from 25th to 28th Feb. Since my flight is arriving on the 26th early morning, i booked the hotel from 25th. By the time I go to hotel, they have canceled my booking with No show and said no more rooms available. I had to walk around finding a hotel with my bags. I already informed hotel through Expedia too that i'm arriving on 26th morning. I lost my money. I will never book this hotel again.
