The word that most aptly describes this hotel is "worn". It appears to have built in the late 80's or early 90's and I don't think there has been a single refurbishment effort made since. The carpets are near threadbare, the walls are in dire need of a paint job, and I don't think a single piece of furniture in the room was undamaged, though for the most part it was still functional. There were too few wall sockets to charge more than one phone without disconnecting lamps and right outside the room one wall lamp flickered and another was burnt out, but the one unforgivable crime was the state of the madras. There were 2 single madrases to a double bed (which is apparently the German way). Both were of dubious quality, but while one was at least still firm the other was so worn and soft that you basically fell into it like a waterbed leading to me waking up the next morning with back pain. The bed is the one thing that MUST be okay, otherwise nothing is okay, when we complained we were told that there was nothing to be done, how a hotel this size doesn't have a few reserve madrases on hand is beyond me, but dealing with breakages is, as we have already established, a non-priority at the Holiday Inn.
Even if everything else had been top notch, a faulty bed earns you one star, so that is what this hotel is getting.
Do not stay at the Holiday Inn if you have other options.
