We flew from California and want to thank this wonderful Holiday Inn. We chose a suite, and it was very large and comfortable. We also picked this hotel because it is close to the base and because they provided transportation for my son’s graduation.
We stayed for a week, and those days were very comfortable. The housekeeping staff were very kind and friendly to us. And the best part: the free breakfast is delicious, and they change the variety every day.
After the graduation, my son enjoyed the hot pool and jacuzzi 100%. Also, on our last day we paid extra to check out at 6 p.m. and go straight to the airport, which was very convenient.
I 100% recommend Holiday Inn to all the families who travel for their children’s graduation

We had an excellent stay at this hotel and would happily stay again and recommend to others. The check in was seamless, the facilities clean, and the beds comfortable.
The pool was clean, and while it would have been nice to have the classic hot tub with bubbling effect, there was a sign explaining the local ordinance limitations and it was plenty hot and relaxing. The pool was missing a suction guard on the right side intake, but we forgot to tell the front desk.
The breakfast was one of the best hotel breakfasts we have had in awhile. Lots of options, all fresh, very clean. They repeatedly asked us if we needed anything.
We had to ask for a bar of soap to wash our hands and the buttons on the elevator were frustrating (capacitive touch butttons).
Very happy 😊
