I have stayed at Holiday Inns in the states that were not as nice as this. Our room was clean, comfortable and in good repair. The staff were friendly and helpful, especially given how late we arrived on our flight. They recommended the Dennys next door so we could get a meal after a long travel day. The breakfast next morning was wonderful!
