At check in a second clerk was at the desk. She did not offer to help me because she assumed i was with the person being waited on. The gentleman who did wait on me was efficient.

Had a very modern and great variety breakfast buffet, super friendly staff, even more amenities than I find in most hotels (for example a little "hygiene pack" was included in my room with cotton balls, q-tips etc), a spacious room. Better than average experience, even for a Holiday Inn, which is one of our favorite types of hotels to stay at!
