This is a very old building and feels more like a motel. Not what you would expect from Holiday Inn. Not worth the price but still ok because it’s located at a convenient location. Room was very small with minimal ventilation. Service was meh. It’s time for them to upgrade. We stayed for two nights and it wasn’t terrible but we expected more from a Holiday Inn chain of hotels.
