Awful, waste of money, Holiday Inn is a bad brand.
Pros:

Pretty much nothing

Cons:

Incredibly noisy, basically sleeping in the middle of a highway.DO NOT STAY HERE IF SLEEP/REST IS WHAT YOU’RE LOOKING FOR..

One old, slow, small working elevator.

Unappealing breakfast and disinterested breakfast staff. Really, no lids for coffee cups?

No plugs in the ‘lobby’ of any kind that I could find, and I searched .. for a good while.

Old, worn, tired looking facility. Folks smoking right out front at the entrance.

$260 for what??

Perhaps a slight upgrade from a Motel 6, but it’s close.

Just don’t do it.

Yırtın bir konaklama geçirdim maalesef bu notelde..
Pros:

Tesis sıkıntıydı

Cons:

Saç kurutma makinası çalışmıyor

Yan odada ne konuşuluyorsa hepsi duyuluyordu temizce. 2 gün kaldım 2 gündede uyuyamadım desem yeridir.
Resepsiyona söyledim tamam çözeceğiz felan dediler ama nafile

Overall I enjoyed my stay
Pros:

I liked the location, and the staff were friendly and helpful

Cons:

The cleanliness can be improved, elevators had an unpleasant smell, and the rooms were not as clean as I would have liked. There was hair in the bathroom, the tub and sink could have been cleaner.
