"Perfect Location, Comfortable Room."

My husband and I stayed at the Holiday Inn for Canada Day to participate in the festivities. The location was excellent as it was steps away from all the activities happening along the waterfront! The staff were very friendly and helpful. We did use the pool which was warm and clean! We didn't eat at the restaurant but it seemed reasonable for price and had a patio overlooking the waterfront! Our room had a balcony which made for perfect viewing of the fireworks! Parking is an extra charge but was reasonable. We would definitely stay here again!
