Pros:

Tisztaság, kényelem, nyugalmas környék,csend

Cons:

4 főre foglaltam szállást, az árban reggelivel, mégis csak a 2 felnőttnek volt ingyenes a reggeli, a 2 gyerek reggelijét külön kellett kifizetni, amelyre első nap 45 dollárt fizettünk
A depositnak szánt 100 dollar visszautalása 21 nap alatt fog megtörténni, javaslom, a nemzetközi vendégektől kérjék el készpénzben és a távozás napján adják vissza

Clean and friendly staff
Pros:

Our stay with Holiday Inn was great! The rooms were clean and staff was very friendly and helpful. We could walk to some places but also found uber was so convenient and an inexpensive way to get to the attractions since it was almost 100 when we were there Having a Johnny Rockets within the hotel was also a plus. They had a great breakfast and were open late for a late night shake or meal. Loved the rooftop pool! Relaxed and watched the sunset

The front staff was very professional and friendly.
Pros:

I absolutely loved the staff, and having Johnny Rockets in the Hotel was the icing on the cake! At the Hotel Peter always greeted us with a smile. Destiny H, Charnell and Ambria were amazing at the front desk.

Cons:

The house keeping needs to be better. I had to change rooms because spoil food was left in the microwave and left an awful smell. Second room I had a stain on the sheets

Increíble ubicación!
Pros:

La ubicación, habitación, limpieza, todo en general en buenas condiciones. La posibilidad de comprar bebidas, snacks y otras cosas en el mismo hotel también fue un plus. Poder lavar ropa también agrega un gran servicio.

Cons:

El personal del desayuno es bastante poco eficiente incluso con baja demanda.

Good value!
Pros:

Nice staff. Good value. Very clean. They provided free water bottles every day which was very nice during the heat! Rooftop pool was a hit with my son.

Cons:

Bathrooms need updating. No fans for shower and plumbing was weak in toilet. Sink didn’t drain properly.
