Its a lot like many other Holiday Inn's where I have stayed. They range from 40-60 years old, and there fore have great locations (this one is walking distance to terminal C). This like the other have been renovated, but that does not change the fundamental short comings of old resorts: rooms so narrow you can not put a chest... more

Narrow room, so skinny you have to twist your neck to watch tv that is mounted in the wall..... Glass of wine in bar was WAY over priced! $7.89 for a half glass of house wine? Yikes! No fridge, no microwave! Never again Holiday Inn! Same as I remember Holiday Inn's from years ago. more

Very basic accomodation - no refigerator in rooms only a small icebucket. In house meal greasy and unattractive. Low cost in comparison to other Sil Valley hotels. Light rail at doorstep and so we could avoid expensive taxis to town. We dined at Denny's - two blocks North or across the road - pizza, mexican & Starbucks. Apparently newspapers are... more

I booked a room at a regular tariff, and got a room with highway buzz, just inside! I asked to change to a quiet room, and was told this would only be possible with a different room tariff- another $10 a night. I got a new room, with exactly same features - less highway noise. So apparently regular tariff means... more

After reading the reviews - I will admit that I was very reluctant about staying here. However, since it was the close to the airport and very affordable we decided to go ahead and stay here. Everyone was very nice including the reservationist, the check-in and check-out clerks and other staff that we encountered. Our room was bigger than what... more

Apathetic staff, problems with the room, misleading restaurant promotions... I could make this a long story, but I'll keep it short: We were EXTREMELY unhappy with our stay there. more

I stayed here for 3 nights for the 2009 RNR 1/2 Marathon. Although we had a car, the trolley stops right out front, so the hotel is convenient to downtown and the surrounding area--a few minutes to the airport. The room was clean and quiet, although a little worn-but everything worked. There is a constant drone from the busy interstate... more

The motel is not a 3 star. It is old, runned down, no AC in hallways, no elevators, pool is unkempt, dirty and concrete and tiles are cracked. Anyone can walk into the common areas and use the pool, no safety. Traveling as a woman it feels very unsafe, area is bad. Manager is unfriendly and spoke to me as... more

We paid $55 for this hotel on priceline and we kept reminding ourselves of this throughout the weekend. This hotel was shabby and smelly. Our room (especially the bathroom) had a strong sewage smell. The grout in the bathroom looked suspicously black and the room windows were dirty. The outdoor look was worn down and the landscaping needed major work.... more

I reserved for 2 queen size beds online and when I arrive there, the representative tells me that she can't accomodate me. She says this casually without even checking whether I paid in full which I did so she's telling me that I paid in full for nothing. So unapologetically, she offers me a room with 2 full size beds... more
