Room was in the old part - not very nice
I stayed one night at the Holiday Inn recently on a business trip. I booked the trip short notice and nearly all the hotels in the area were booked, with the exception of this one. The room I was given was in the old part of the complex and my hotel door opened directly to the outside - a common balcony. When traveling alone (female) I really don't like these types of rooms, but there wasn't anything else available. 
Pros: I liked the location - close to the harbor and the airport. Free parking. Quiet.
Cons: The room opened directly to the outside and smelled very musty. The furnishings were a bit outdated.
Overall, if I were to return I would only stay if I was guaranteed a room in their new building. I would not stay again in the room I was given.
