The evening front desk staff were excellent. However, the day manager was not. I was the only guest checking out but she told me she was " busy with paperwork " and would check me out later and send me an email with my final bill. Its now 12 hours later and no email or final bill. Parking is sketchy needing to go down an alleyway past garbage dumpsters which was problematic.

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.
