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.

A great place to stay.
Well located, very close to the tram stop, this is a great place to stay. The hotel is close to places to eat and shop. The staff are very friendly and helpful and actually upgraded my room to a suite. The suite was very comfortable and well equipped. Breakfast was included in the rate which was more affordable than other hotels.

The staff are friendly and polite. The breakfast was standard but good with decent options. The place was clean. I arrived after dark and was nervous about the parking lot as it backed into an alley and no security to be seen. I would not recommend parking behind the property if arriving after dark as there's no out front parking lot. I cannot rate this property more than 3/5, and would probably rate lower based on my room experience. The online information said that my room selection was "soundproofed". That is definitely not correct. My balcony room faced the street and it was quite noisy. It sounded like a window was opened, even after putting in ear plugs. All night the sounds of the train, traffic and ambulances or emergency vehicles could be heard. I did not sleep at all. The next morning, I let the front staff know and while friendly I was advised that the property is downtown, as though I should have known this should have been expected. So I chose to check out. I tried to see if I could get a refund for one night through Expedia as I'd booked for 2 nights. I let the hotel know this. They said I couldn't because I'd prepaid and if you prepay it's not possible. To Expedia's credit they tried to work with the hotel but the hotel would not budge. I felt that at least they would refund one night given they didn't live up to their website comment of being sound proof and given I'd only stayed 1 night. The area is a bit sketchy from my observations that day.
