There was practically nothing good about that hotel. There is nowhere to unload your car. Parking is $45 per night. Checking in is confusing as they’re merging with another hotel in the same building so there’s different entrances, elevators, keys, etc. it seems as though the only AC that works is IN the rooms. Walking to your room or even trying to eat breakfast (which was pretty good) is like sitting in a sauna. Seems to be a long term problem because there has two fans semi-permanently mounted to tables. Staff was friendly but the maze of halls and elevators and the need to use your key card 3 times to get from outside to your room Makes this hotel a no-go for me in the future.

Paint peeling off in the bathroom, the toilet seat is not securely attached to the toilet, the shower lever is half off the wall, the shower curtain was ripped off the hook, the shower temperature fluctuates. But the water pressure of the shower is great and the breakfast is great, too.

No staff works in the holiday Inn, you have to go to the hotel indigo for help. Called one night because i couldn't get a hold of the Urban Pour to order food. No one answered at either desk, so we never ate dinner that night. We were pretty disappointed, because i was running the half marathon the next morning
