Great place to stop for the evening on a road trip. Lots of shopping, restaurants & entertainment nearby. We grabbed takeout dinner options & refreshed our car snacks at a Trader Joes, played some games at Dave & Busters, and shopped backpacks at an REI store, all in the same shopping center as the Holiday Inn. Enjoyable evening. Room was clean & quiet. Also enjoyed a swim in the indoor heated section of the hotel pool.
