We stayed here before we flew to Puerto Rico. Check in was a breeze. A bit far from rooms to lobby. Nice little cafe/store near pool area. The pool area has some seating and a gated whirlpool. Shuttle took us to airport and when we returned they also drove us to our Park 'n' Fly vehicle. Will stay again.

I have stayed at this hotel several times for business purposes. I always find it clean and well managed. The attached Bennigans restaurant is very good. The hotel also has a small cafe/store that is great for grabbing a quick bite. I am always treated very well and enjoy my time spent there.

This hotel next to the airport is in a great location (airport), but is a bit dated - and has been updated the best they can. The price was a bit high too. My recommendation, if you need to be next to the airport, it's perfect. If not, probably wouldn't go back. I'm a Holiday Inn Platinum Preferred member, so... More

Stayed at the hotel the night before our trip to Las Vegas to beat the snow storm and be close to the airport. Perfect plan as the hotel is across the street from the airport. A big plus was the long-term parking in the hotel parking lot and the free shuttle service to and from the airport. Our room was... More

Walking in the front door you know you're at a Holiday Inn. The smell of smoke and chlorine meets you head on. This is an older hotel that has been added on to several times. The hotel has been updated, with the rooms having the most update. It has a center pool area, with lots of children playing so its... More

We stayed in the Holiday Inn Airport Conference Center this holiday weekend. We found the front desk very accommodating and friendly. We had a late check in - 10:30 PM, into 2 rooms. We had king rooms and were upgraded due to being Platinum Members. We got free breakfasts and newspaper. The rooms were large, beds comfy. Would definitely stay... More

I stayed at the Holiday Inn Airport Conference Center this weekend for a convention. The rooms were nice, clean and comfortable.

The pool, hot tub, and game area was closed due to construction. We understand that they need to have work done, but this should have been disclosed to us at time of reservation. This was the major reason to stay at a hotel and not with family. They should have disclosed this info at reservation time.

We recently used Holiday Inn Airport Conference Center for the night before our early flight. The room was comfortable. Since we had to leave so early in the morning, we were allowed to pick up a breakfast from the restaurant the night before (included with room).

I might have been more generous with the review, but on the night I stayed the hotel was fully booked, which pushed my price up over the $150 range. This means I hold the hotel to a higher standard, and based on that measure, this hotel doesn't live up. I get the impression that this hotel is in business only... More
