"The upper floor gym was a nice bonus and allowed me to work on some of the holiday effects that started to show."
"Parking is available for a fee but is a little hard to find as you have to drive up the middle of the mall."
"The complimentary breakfast was also excellent - leaps and bounds what you would expect at a Holiday Inn in America."

The room seemed quite outdated. I found it difficult to locate functional electrical outlets. Watching TV was also a struggle due to the distance to the screen. It felt quite far. Breakfast had a good variety, though it was quite basic for the hotel grade I expected, dated room

i appreciated the excellent wifi connection throughout the hotel. the staff at the reception and in the restaurant were helpful. i also found the location near many facilities convenient.
the room was a bit too dark. it lacked sufficient natural lighting! that was my main concern, though i didn't request another room. i also noticed the breakfast was not very varied.

decent Location, some issues
acceptable breakfaststreet noiseindifferent staff
The breakfast buffet was acceptable with various options.
The room felt quite cramped. The limited space was a bit of a disappointment. The noise from the street below made it difficult to sleep. Earplugs would have helped. the front desk staff seemed rather indifferent. Their lack of enthusiasm wasn't exactly cute.
