Fall in love with Holiday Inn!!! The front desk staff is professional and friendly! All staff is friendly and polite! I had to extend my stay for two nights due to incomplete research travel, the front desk is very professional (it was busy, and guests were waiting, staff served all well). The room is clean and comfortable. The shuttle service is excellent and convenient, you can go anywhere within 3 miles. The breakfast is good. The service was outstanding!
