As a follow-up to this stay, be careful when checking in at this Holiday Inn. They like to give hotwire/priceline winners handicapped rooms in the first floor near the lobby area. The hotel was less than half full and they threw me in a handicapped room (huge bathroom, small room, low mirror, really odd shower configuration, etc.) near the elevator on the first floor with a view of a wall. Quick stopover, so I didn't mind. Otherwise, I would have requested a more practical room. Rooms on the front side of the hotel have a nice view from the top of a hill.
