Congratulatiosn on your win.

This hotel is in the middle of a small 'outdoor mall' so there are some places to see/eat in the immediate area as well as a movie theater (not in very good shape, but first run movies). A very short car ride nearby is also a Walmart, a small indoor mall with supermarket, more restaurants, and another movie theater.

A great rate for this area.

Enjoy your stay.

Hi guys,

I am formerly from this area so I knew what I was getting in terms of location.

According to the front desk---rock bottom bid for this hotel is $52, but they do not routinely give PL a lot of rooms. As this weekend was a holiday (Memorial Day), and they were empty as they mainly cater to business travelers, there were tons of PL rooms.

Unfortunately, there were large groups of 13-15 year olds on school trips from Quebec and Mass. in the hotel so sleeping was difficult due to the noise and the elevator had all the buttons lit on 3 occasions---kids.

In addiditon, the free internet was worth what I paid for it as the link to their server was down all weekend, and the manager who knew how to reset it wasn't working and was unavailable for a non-emergency by phone.

The place was great for location, but as is my experience with most regular Holiday Inns, this place, overall, was a dump- especially when compared to the other PL hotels in this area.

I was in town for a funeral and to break bread with relatives so the hotel did fine, but at regular rates, I would have changed places. Official review to follow.

Regards,

Hal
