"I wasn't expecting much from a Holiday Inn in Waterford, Mi, but I was pleasantly surprised. Room was bigger than the pictures and overall the hotel was in better condition than I expected it would be, solely based upon the area. Not that there is a choice, but I'd stay there again if I'm ever in Waterford."
