This is an old luxury hotel complete with glass elevators and a huge atrium. The atrium contains the pool which looked very nice and a small dining area. The walk from the parking lot to the room was long and circuitous. I assume a bellman or porter was available but none presented themselves to aid us in getting our bags to the room. No matter, we have wheeled luggage.
We we invited to a"Manager's Reception," which offered free wine, beer, and snacks. Since neither of us drink, that was a non-starter. I think they do the reception in lieu of a breakfast. There was no breakfast bar nor encouragement via a voucher for even some percentage off in the restaurant. I guess free beer is cheaper than breakfast.
The bathroom was small even by RV standards and clearly not ADA accessible. I assume those were available elsewhere. The hotel is layed out in two wings in a vee that a compasses the atrium. So plan on a long walk to your room.
Upon our departure, I informed the desk person that the clock radio in the room (216) was defective and made noises and flashed 12:00 all night. I reset it twice but it returned to 12:00. I tried to unplug it but the receptacle was (not to code) inaccessible behind the king bed platform. The extra pillows on the bed were employed burying the flashing clock. The bathroom sink drained slowly enough I couldn't even wash down my whiskers. The desk person wrote down NOTHING. I can only assume he has a really good memory.
Lesson learned... No more Holday Inns for us. Next time it will be Holiday Inn Express.
