Downtown Stay
This was an overnight stay to attend an NHL game. Location and access to the arena was close and smooth. Free covered parking and a nice choice of breakfast. The staff are all friendly and welcoming. Our room was clean and comfortable. I would consider this hotel for future overnight visits.

The value that Holiday Inn offers with free parking and breakfast makes it a great choice for travelers. The location is more central so it’s a bit smaller than other Holiday Inn locations. But all in all, it’s great.

When i first arrived in the dark, my first impression was the hotel was a bit sketchy due to some drunks outside the restaurant next door and that it's an older building. after seeing it in the daylight, it was totally different amd changed my opinion. The breakfast can be a hit or miss depending on the time that you eat, but overall easy to feed a family. I will be staying here in the future.
