We wanted to stay in Old Town so while searching for hotels I was surprised that a Holiday Inn was $250 a night - and had 4 stars on yelp. I usually stay at SPG properites since that is what I have points with but decided to check this place out due to its location and reviews. I learnt later that it was spring training and thus the spike in room price.
First off, the location is great - you are walking distance to the shops and restaurants in Old Town. In addition there is a FREE SHUTTLE that will take you anywhere within 2 miles (tips only). There is also airport service available for $10 a person which is very reasonable considering an uber from the airport to here will run you about $20. There is also a free happy hour every day with beer and wine and free breakfast buffet which wasn't bad.
With regards to the rooms, I wouldn't necessarily call them "nice". Our room was pretty large though - 2 queen beds and a separate sitting room/tv area. The layout was very strange since you had to walk through the bathroom from the entrance to get to the rest of the room.
There is a "heated" pool also which felt like it was ice water. The hot tub however was very warm and nice to relax in. There is not a full bar here though which kind of sucks.
Overall I would say that the property itself is about a 3, but considering the great location, free shuttle, and awesome customer service from everyone I would consider staying here again.
