A good downtown base, with clean rooms but parking and breakfast frustrations.
This 3-star Holiday Inn is a good, practical base for hospital visits, conventions and downtown outings—not a destination hotel. Expedia and Booking.com guests repeatedly praise clean, comfortable rooms and friendly staff, while recent Tripadvisor feedback supports the convenient location. We'd consider it for a short stay, especially without a car. A restaurant, 24-hour gym and rooftop terrace give it more than just the basics.
The trade-offs are worth planning around: rooms can feel compact, several guests report traffic noise, and parking attracts recurring complaints about charges, availability and valet service. IHG now lists paid valet parking, with self-parking a block away. Breakfast is not automatically included, and recent guests describe limited choices and inconsistent availability. We'd skip it if quiet nights, spacious rooms or effortless parking are priorities.

Watch out for: traffic noise and compact rooms; paid parking and valet frustrations; limited, inconsistent breakfast
Location: In the downtown medical district, within walking distance of the convention center and entertainment.
Rooms: Generally comfortable and well kept, but some are compact and street noise can intrude.
Cleanliness: A consistent strength across Expedia, Booking.com and recent positive guest reviews.
Service: Front-desk friendliness earns praise; valet service is less consistent.
Amenities: Restaurant/bar, rooftop terrace, free Wi-Fi and a 24-hour gym; no pool.
Fees and surprises: Parking costs extra; IHG lists off-site self-parking. Check whether your reservation includes breakfast.
