This is the second time we stay at this Holiday Inn and we enjoyed our stay both times. I especially like that even though the facility is next to the freeway, we did not hear the freeway noise at night, perhaps because our room was located closer to the street. The staff were very courteous and helpful, especially Sebastian and the lady who was managing the breakfast.
