Great Place to Stay Before Cruise
We stayed for one night, along with other family members, the night before our cruise. We were impressed with the cleanliness of the lobby, the breakfast area, and our rooms. Everything was neat, tidy, and immaculately clean. The beds were very comfortable, and the room and surrounding area was very quiet. Breakfast was good and offered a lot of different choices. Staff members were friendly and helpful. The free shuttle to the cruise port was an added bonus!

Short stay
Great clean hotel . Service was above average! I put this comment in every review. When are hotel companies going to come up with an HVAC system that doesnt make noise. People come to hotels to sleep . Every HVAC in every hotel room around the world makes too much noise. I’ll pay double for a quiet room!!!!!!

Excellent stay. Everything was perfect, except that they were not very much prepared for the large number of people when it comes to breakfast, which is the most famous thing about Holiday inn.

Nice clean place
The hotel is really nice. The staff were nice. I wish the water would have been warmer and the sink not clogged, but it is what it is. Beds were comfortable and the food was decent.
