Great place to stop for the evening on a road trip. Lots of shopping, restaurants & entertainment nearby. We grabbed takeout dinner options & refreshed our car snacks at a Trader Joes, played some games at Dave & Busters, and shopped backpacks at an REI store, all in the same shopping center as the Holiday Inn. Enjoyable evening. Room was clean & quiet. Also enjoyed a swim in the indoor heated section of the hotel pool.
A nice quiet hotel surrounded by restaurants.
Also there is an in room fridge which is a must for me.
Lots of good food all around and in walking distance
The room was clean but notice some water damage on the floor( carpet in room 113 )
I was switched to another room that fit my request the most and the room was clean.
I recently stayed four nights at the hotel. The room as well as the hotel was clean. The staff was very friendly and professional. I would recommend this hotel to my friends and family.
My family enjoyed our stay and will return when we return to that area.

The staff was courteous, however we needed someone to come and clean our room and they stated that since we booked through a third party they would not clean it.
