My fabulous second "office" of the morning, I arrived here at 9:30am and stayed for about an hour…read moreand a half, moving smoothly through two Zoom calls and several meetings. The atmosphere feels a little less industrial than Zinc and leans more toward the inviting "coffee shop" style, yet it remains an excellent choice for remote workers who want a reliable and pleasant setting. I once again ordered a cortado, and it was once again excellent. Served in the proper short glass, it provided exactly the kind of boost I needed to dig through my mailbox and get everything prepared for the weekend. The consistency here is impressive, and the attention to detail in presentation makes the experience even better. This is a comfortable and quiet place for laptop workers, with seating that encourages focus and a background hum that never becomes distracting. There is street parking right outside, along with a free lot and deck across the street, which makes access easy and stress free. Five stars from me, and I would be glad to spend another full work day here, enjoying both the coffee and the calm environment that makes productivity feel natural.

Let me start by establishing that I am a regular customer here. As a student, I love getting a…read morecoffee on the weekends, going to the back room, and settling in to get some work done. This shop hands down, is why I am on track to graduate early. This weekend, two of the staff members have started telling customers that 'oat milk does not foam'. When I was told this, I thought they meant that oat milk does not foam 'well'. I was mistaken. I received a drink which had no foam. The quality is comparable to a latte which has been microwaved for a warm-up after 40 minutes: Flat. Dull. Disappointing. What happened to the froth? The effervescence? The reason I don't make coffee myself and just add creamer is because I feel the quality of a latte or cappuccino from a coffee shop is worth more than any money I would save making a subpar coffee at home. I love this coffee shop, but I cannot be a patron of this business while this false narrative, born from necessity (milk supplier change perhaps...?) or from laziness, I do not know. I'll end with this protest: oat milk CAN foam!

The hotel is nice, clean, and spacious. We stayed one night while passing through and it was fine…read morefor that. The pool was clean, but no pool towels available at the time. Front desk staff friendly, but not always present/available. Worst part was the restaurant in the hotel. I hope Holiday Inn reads the reviews of the restaurant because the restaurant clearly is not reading them. Plan on Door Dash or dining out.

We were never told that the staff would be less than helpful in sharing video footage with us or police. After the fact, the crew was more than jovial in explaining how "ha ha ha this area is really bad! We're in between two homeless camps!" As I was told. It was then when I realized it wouldn't be too far fetched that they can-have a great little scam going. AVOID THIS CLUSTER OF HOTELS. And if you must be here make sure you're directly under one of their less than below average cameras!!!

My daughter now wants to have her birthday party here! I don't suggest doing 3 games for a birthday party unless you switch people out in between games, 12 people and three games takes a while if they're busy! They end one game then start another 8 minutes after I believe so if you aren't paying attention then you end up waiting 20 mins for another game.
