8/10 Good
"The location is great for being able to walk to a lot of places. The room was a decent size. The breakfast was very good. I did have 1 beef and I don't know if this is something other people would care about, but I'm going to mention it anyways. We had gone to a near-by restaurant (Thai Village - very good food) and we couldn't finish our meals and asked for them to be packed up, which they did. When we got back to the hotel we asked if they could store our left-overs in the fridge as the rooms don't have fridges or microwaves in them as ours do in Canada. We were told only meds can be stored in the fridge. The agent at the counter relented and put them in the fridge for us. Next day after an extremely long excursion (13 hours) we were very tired and just wanted to heat our left-overs up and chill in our room. The staff told us they couldn't heat them up in their microwaves because of liability reasons? What? Liability? She said in case we got sick, they would be liable. What? I told her we would accept all risk and she still wouldn't citing it is a company policy. What a stupid policy! Put microwaves and fridges in the rooms like they have in Canada and most likely the USA then so people can save a little money by not having to purchase all their meals (except breakfast as that is provided). I'm not sure if this is a Holiday Inn policy or city or what but it doesn't make sense to me. I would have given a 5 star review had this not happened."
