Although the Holiday Inn is pricey (around $120), it is the best value quality hotel in Dar.
In the other >$100 hotels, you always feel ripped off but in the Holiday Inn, the employees are fantastic.
Each worker is an individual who will be more than happy to sincerely chat to you and give you advice on Dar.
The pool is crap, so if you are looking for a bit of swimming I would avoid it. However, if you are just needing a stopover and are willing to pay that level of fees for a room, then Holiday Inn is the place for you.
Great atmosphere, Internet Cafe (TSh2000/30 minutes), good bar (a bit pricey compared to the local bars but so are all the quality hotels), Restaurant has a wide variety of western and swahili foods).
I would say that the views are not as good as other quality hotels.
