Overall good stay.
I was a little surprised that at the things that were not working, like the hot tub, the breakfast pancake maker, the ice machine… but my room was so clean and the bed was very comfortable so overall it was a great stay. It almost met the normal standard I’m used to at Holiday Inns and I’d stay there again.
