The bed was really nice. The room was big. Breakfast was good. And the soaps and lotions in the bathroom were really nice.
Andreluizcardona from Canada (8/10)

Gordon from Canada (9/10)
Breakfast was very good with a wide selection of cereals and a normal selection of hot foods.
Mark from Canada (9/10)
This hotel scores high on all acccounts.
You get a very clean room, where you're able to relax in a comfortable bed and chairs. The room has a handy microwave oven and coffee maker and excellent lighting options: bedside lamps, desklamps, overhead lights — perfect for relaxing and reading.
The breakfast is better than what you'd expect from a buffet, with a variety of choices. (This is not the case in all the Holiday's Inns.) The all-important morning coffee could be a little stronger, but trust me, you've had a lot worse.
The room price is a little too steep, and will encourage you to look around, but otherwise, this hotel will not disappoint.Sony from Canada (8/10)
Breakfast was quite good. Clean accommodations. Nice bathroom.
Duval from Canada (8/10)

Jason from Canada (8/10)
Reception staff were VERY nice! Vending machine on the 4th floor stole my 2$ for a water but when i called reception to tell them, the very sweet blonde girl from the front desk came up herself and handed us a bottle of water that the machine didnt give us! Above and beyond for her.
