Good rooms. Service is a hit or a miss depending on the workers. Sodas cost $4 at the counter.
Lots of good places to eat within walking distance.
Breakfast is solid. They serve bacon and fresh fruit (strawberries. Blueberries) 😛
Stayed here since Tuesday waiting on my semi truck to get out of the Kenworth mech shop. If this was a motel 6 i would be very depressed. Good thing this is a Holiday Inn

Check was at 3, there were no rooms available to check into at that time and the wait was about 30-40 mins. I had to request an upgraded room in order to get a room in the time that I needed.
Room was big, and spacious but unfortunately smelled of cat pee.. tv barely works also
