The main problem I have is that they have pictures of cheese omelet eggs and circle patties but I guess that is the general picture used by Holliday inn... The breakfast was scrambled eggs thelat were watery, sausage links where the casing was tough, bacon soft and under cooked, and pool was small... But if you look at the pictures the pool looks big... It's not ... Bed was nice and the room was perfect... Won't be coming back here because I was expecting something close to what I see in your pics and it's 100% false advertisement!!!
