"Worthy of the excellent locale, right across from the Xcel Energy Center... The rooms don't inspire superlatives, but they're clean and comfortable."

"The rooms are the usual decent quality you expect from the Holiday Inn chain; the perks are the location adjacent to the RiverCentre (convention center), a small pool and an on-site Irish pub." Full review
