So this has to be one of Holiday Inns older buildings. Not up to their usual standards. It is two story, with interior doors, but no elevator! The place looks and feels a little old & tired, showing its age, but it was clean and a relatively good value compared to the few other places we knew about in town. The room we had was huge and appeared to be designed for more beds than our one king, but the bathroom was quite small... a struggle to close the door while standing in front of the toilet. The TV was old and had less than perfect picture quality, but the bed was adequate..not bad at all, just not the best. The indoor pool was large, very spartan, noisy, and crowded with families & kids. But the large spa at one end of the room was very comfortable and very nice later when most of the kids left.
One unusual thing we noticed was about the noise level ... I mean we had a room next to the freeway and not far from the train tracks but we never heard any of that even though we knew trains went through town all night ... yet inside our room we could easily hear the muffled conversations coming from a room next to us.
There was no continental breakfast. And we did not try the restaurant here, but peeking in, we saw a comfortable, cozy steakhouse and next time will give it a try. The Mexican Cantina downtown had live music and the food was great. We also ate breakfast in the family restaurant across the street from the Cantina and the service and the food was less than what anyone would want.
A must visit is to the "Red Garter B & B " .. Bed & Bakery ..a small but tasty selection of home baked goods and an interesting history to this old bordello which is supposedly haunted!
It will cost more, but next time I'll probably stay at the newer Fairfield Inn a few blocks away.
