This hotel allows you to have your own front room at a hotel at a reasonable price. That doesn’t happen very often ...

I am not sure what the going rate is here - but can assure you - anywhere else would be better.
For 2 people staying 6 weeks in same room, it did not seem unreasonable to request a microwave when one became available. I was told there were no rooms with microwaves, yet half my travelling colleagues have them in their identical rooms. If we would like something reheated during our 6 weeks, we are to wait for lobby staff to become available and they will reheat out back. Not ideal at all.
Rooms are tired and outdated. Lighting so poor, I went out to buy an additional lamp as most requests not met anyway.
Little extras. Not even an extra blanket, or side table for double occupancy. Despite reservation being in my name and paying the damage deposit hold myself - I was not able to collect IGH points.
Food in restaurant is bland and overpriced.
Front desk staff do the absolute minimum required.
PROS: Service staff in restaurant all excellent. Gym is small but well equipped and clean. Pool seems clean. Beds are comfortable and clean (firm with a nice pillow top). Close to hospital, drug store, whole foods and plenty of restaurants.
Still have another 5 weeks here. I hope our experience improves, but the level of "give a crap" here certainly suggests otherwise.

We had the buffet breakfast which was not a huge selection but fruit was tasty, eggs and bacon and porridge were all enjoyed. They did not keep the scrambled eggs full though and I had some last bits of it. Staff were pleasant and helpful.

The whole building appears to be in desperate need of updating. It is extremely old fashioned, dark and depressing. There is no room service, the decor throughout is in shades of mud or moss, the ancient ac unit was noisy and inefficient. Our room had one small window that opened - no more than 6 ins - so we had very little fresh air.
There were few of the hotel services that one might expect.
On the plus side, the room had a fridge, an ironing board and iron, and a hairdryer.
One of the first things we found was a laminated card with a warning on it, suggesting the hotel has significant security issues (see photo).
Unfortunately, due to circumstances beyond our control, we had to stay longer than intended, which made life quite difficult. We did receive limited help, however calls to the front desk yielded responses that varied enormously - sometimes good, often mystifying or just unhelpful.
The dining area was tired and dark. Breakfast was basic and old fashioned in its presentation. Restaurant staff seemed friendly and did their best to assist as far as they could.
If your stay here is for one or two nights, the hotel is likely to be tolerable.
If you are stuck there any longer, for any reason, brace yourself for a dismal experience.
1st night was $302 plus parking and a hotel tax charge. Our total was $1,034.99 for 3 nights. There was 3 1 night charges . The 2nd and 3rd night were lower than the 1st. It was 294 and 285. The 1st night including hotel tax and parking was around $350. We want an explanation why we were charged higher rates on all 3 nights. Front desk staff says it was a long weekend wedding rate.
We were there from May 20-23 to attend a family wedding. My parents did like the room that we got (713) and the pool/fitness center on the 5th floor.
Because of being overcharged we will not return and stay with my brother and sister in law at their apartment.

Carpets in hallways and room not clean, otherwise OK.
If you don't like to walk cost of taxi's to Downtown would cover part of the cost of accommodation to the Holiday Inn Downtown and more options to feel part of the city

"If you are coming with an oversized vehicle, there is covered parking within a half block. The parking at the HI lot shows as 6'6", but is 2-3"shorter in spots."Read full review
