This Holiday Inn was very nice. It was clean and the staff was kind. The only thing to be aware of is the parking situation. The hotel is right beside/above a public parking deck. As we were checking in the attendant attempted to charge us the hotels parking fee of $54 per night. The parking decks weekend fee is different/cheaper.

Surprisingly impressed

Holiday Inn’s don’t necessarily always have the best reputation, but this location was well kept. Close to the museum (reason for the trip). Starbucks downstairs was a plus.

Recommended for comfort, location and parking.

We have enjoyed staying at this hotel because of its location and parking. Staff is friendly and we had everything we needed. We met friends and ate at the the 21st Amendment for dinner - everything was good and a nice place to meet. The train is nearby - so we did hear it occasionally but we did not notice it as we slept. We we stay there again.

There was food that had dried on the chair. Floss stick on the uncleaned carpet. This is why we moved to another hotel even though we lost our deposit. Totally grossed us out!

This might be one of the worst hotel stays I've experienced. The bathrooms are moldy. Their was cracked tiles in the shower. The water would go from cold to hot without notice. Their towels felt like sandpaper. There was no soap in the dispenser. Their isn't enough light in the room. The carpets smelled bad. The front desk does not even answer the phone. Never staying at a Holiday Inn.
