We paid $500/night for a room with 2 queen beds and sofa bed. Very spacious room and bathroom, great location. However, beds were grossly dirty!!! Sheets and blankets were stained but we were so tired after a long travel day (we checked in very late) that it was too exhausting to ask for a new room. We slept with long pants and socks & over the blankets just to get through the night.

We had a great day. The staff was very friendly and welcoming when we arrived just before midnight. They assisted us in finding parking even though no stalls were available. They even offered us water when we were thirsty after a long trip. We’ll definitely stay here again. Very close to the waterfront, tons of shops and a beautiful walk.

We enjoyed our stay at the Holiday Inn. It was clean and very comfortable. Worth the price for sure. We liked that it had free breakfast to help save on eating out and the beds were very comfortable. Staff is very friendly. Thank you Holiday Inn. We had a great time on the Island and we would stay here again.
