I like staying at Holiday Inn, and this is my second time staying at this location — but also my last.
Since May, they have introduced a parking fee, which makes absolutely no sense, and it’s clear they want to drive away guests traveling by car.
The $10 fee itself isn’t the issue, but it’s a matter of principle. It’s really a shame that a hotel charges for parking. I’ve never seen anything like this anywhere in the world.

Let me just say this.I stayed here 2 weeks ago.Everything was pretty good.I made another reservation for Sunday 9:14 I pay through booking the I went to the hotel.They said I i to pay another see another room rate call bookings. Booking says it's paid for the problem is on there and so rather than solving the problem that I paid for the room.
I've been using bookings for over 15 years. Never had a problem booking. Says the hotel is the one that can't process the payment so rather than make the accommodations for me to give me a room. They just cancel my room. They keep my money and tell me they give it back to me in 10 days. No customer service. I got hung up on tent. H. Sorry, I got hung up on 4 times do not stay here. They will rip you off the first time. I stayed there. They never returned. My deposit wasn't that much money. I didn't really do anything about it. So this time I pay bookings. They tell me the hotel is the problem. They won't process the payment. They cancel my payment for my reservation. And on top of that, the deposit, I gave them the first time. I never received. Do not stay here. It's a scam, it's a rip-off.
