The towel wasn’t as clean, with some hair on it… the offsite parking was very hard to navigate where many of the spots are not allowed for overnight parking… the heater/AC was quite loud and wifi was pretty slow… I don’t think this is up to a standard Holiday Inn level

The location is convenient for walking to outdoor mall stores, food, old town, stadium, river front. The gym was useful, but pool ice cold and tiny. The hotel is a little outdated and lacks attention. It had a bit of motel vibe but provided a comfortable bed, clean bed linens, small fridge and coffee maker (with no water) was available. Did not care for the shower as the water kept changing to dangerous scalding hot every 2 minutes! The bathroom did not have conditioner or a handle to enter shower which would make it safer/comfortable, and the tv was so small we couldn’t watch it although there is an entire wall that could fit a larger screen. The staff was difficult to reach unfortunately but they were very friendly. However, when towels were delivered the person had smokers smell on their hands that was on the towels he delivered (gloves would help). Parking in public garage was ok but we felt it was safer to park where we could see our car from the hotel window. Overall, it was convenient and we slept well on clean beds, and we would stay again for convenience but not expect much more.

The bed was comfortable and the floor quiet. One should bed careful, however, about rooms that overlook the freeway - like mine. Traffic noise during the night never stops.
