The walking area from the front entrance to the parking garage area is dirty and sketchy. Outside of that the hotel interior is great. The Marriott hotel next to this one has a better entry from the parking garage to its hotel. Also the Holiday in rooms are a bit smaller than usual. The city view windows are blocked by parking garages unless you are in floors 8-10 I'd say. We stayed on 6 and the view was blocked.
