When I booked the room I was lead to believe that there was free parking at the site, instead I was charged $24.00 per day. The breakfast self service and selection was minimal at best compared to other Holiday Inns I have booked. Weak plastic utensils, watered down juices and bagels that were at best 3/4 sliced.

Location of room. It was on the basement and next to cleaning crew. My view was the car engine of overnight vehicles. Shower was leveled with floor and made a mess when showered, luckily, plenty towels handy. Also, noticed people were given water bottles upon registration, I was offered none! Glad it was one night stay !!!
