Our room was very damp to the point that our carpet felt wet and our clothes felt damp during our stay. The bathroom had no exhaust which made tons of condensation while showering, even with the door open. After a shower we had a puddle across the sink. In addition, the room wasn’t insulated against outside sound. It was hard to sleep because we could hear everything in the halls and outside.

The hotel was clean and comfortable. The staff were very friendly and made check in easy. We paid extra to have breakfast was a waste of money. The eggs and potatoes were cold, the sausages were dry and hard like they were over cooked or been reheated to many times . The bacon was edible still a bit hard but had some taste. Was very disappointed in the food

A nice, central located hotel. Room was on the small size, but comfortable and clean. The only problem was noise. We were on the 9th floor and could hear outside noise like there were no glass in the windows. The rooms were very close where we were at the end of a hallway and you could hear talking, laughing, yelling, etc like the door was made of paper. The hotel did have signs posted saying quiet hours were 10pm-7am, but apparently people don’t read or care. Otherwise, the 2 night stay was fine.

A+ definitely recommend

We went for a weekend and I highly recommend the Holiday Inn. The room was clean, the AC was cold, the bed was very comfortable. Two cons: 1: the room was that we got the room behind the elevator. While we did not hear the elevator, the layout wrapped around the shaft and that meant a narrow hallway to the room, which was annoying with bags and a stroller. 2: the bathroom door was a sliding barn style door and it weighed a ton. I struggled with it, so kids or the elderly will simply have to poop with the door open. The neighborhood is very central, so you won't need your car if you want to wander the town (I recommend Beignet Company for breakfast). The restaurant is great, upscale, and open late. Dinner can be ordered at the bar until 945, so if you get in late, you don't have to find a diner or eat gas station hotdogs. The staff was friendly, the parking was cheap at $15/day, the lobby is huge. I did not use the pool, so I cannot speak to that. The rooftop bar is undergoing renovations and was closed as of late July. They DO have cribs if you have a baby/toddler and don't want to lug around a pack and play.

Didn't like having to pay $14.99 for the same breakfast you get for free at any other hotel. Hotel restaurant didn't serve a breakfast and closed at 10 pm but the bar stayed open till 11 pm with no snack options.
