We stayed at the Holiday Inn for 6 nights. The staff was great, very friendly, and helpful. Location is key and this hotel is in the heart of Bayside. We enjoyed how convinient it was to walk to restaurants, shops, and Port. Parking was a mess! When booking we didn't realized it was not included and when we arrived we discovered there was no paking available. The gentleman at the parking lot was very helpful and refered us to a parking lot near by that was safe and less expensive (College Station @ 190 NE 3rd St) however, it was an incovience since we arrived at 2am. The hotel was poorly renovated; there were paint stains on the floor, carpet, and artwork. The carpet in the hallways and rooms have stains and smell strong. All these things give the hotel a dated look and feel. With all that said, the hotel was clean and the staff were great. We had a great time.
