The hotel itself was not very clean or well maintained. The hallway entrances looked like they hadn’t been swept for several days. The shade in our room was torn. The biscuits & gravy on the breakfast buffet were pretty good. But the eggs & sausage links looked old, overcooked & reheated from previous days.
The night before this stay we had slept in an amazing Holiday Inn Express, so we went in with high expectations, unfortunately they were not met. This one had not been cared for as well, the staff was not as helpful and friendly, and the breakfast wasn’t as good. They still have amazing beds though! We had a hard time getting ice. The worker at the front desk assured us there was ice, but my husband found that the ice machines were all unplugged. He plugged them in himself and by the morning we had ice.
We stayed for one night with smaller kids. We didn’t have a shower curtain upon arrival but the front office was quick to get us one. The pool water was freezing. The staff said they turned the heater on but by the time we left it was still cold. Floors were a little dirty in the room, ice machine was down, bed was comfortable, and breakfast was decent! We would stay here again and maybe call before to have the pool heater turned on prior to the stay.
Floors in main area, elevator and room not clean. No soap in one bathroom main floor, breakfast was poorly stocked. Only one luggage cart and it was not available. Staff was not present at front desk (main lobby empty).
Highly recommend this hotel. Very clean, affordable, and convenient. The rooms are spacious and quiet. I plan on staying here every time I visit family.
Everything was excellent, clean, polite ,just a suggestion, maybe the mattresses need to be a little more firm but the place was beautiful and the breakfast was great!
When I got there my wife checked us in (she didn’t know what kind of room we reserved) the man said he had a king bed and golf out couch available. We reserved a two bed suite with a pull out couch for five people. When I realized we were in the wrong kind of room I went to talk to the gentleman at the front and he said that she didn’t know what room we had so he gave her the king room and she said it was fine and the suite is unavailable. I asked how it was unavailable when I had a reservation for it. Didn’t get anywhere with that we had to use the room we were in. The pool was Freezing. There were no towels in the pool room. The floors in the lobby and elevator were filthy. Our hotel room had not been vacuumed either.
Booked a 2 queen suite for 2 adults 3 kids. We arrived and were told they only had a king suite. This was 11pm and cheer competition weekend. So nothing else available. We said fine whatever. There were people sitting in the hallways at 11pm outside our room. No fault of hotel. The room was dirty. The trashcans had stuff in them. The comforters were dirty with red candy and dirt. There was piece of food on the floor and hair. The shower was covered in some interesting hairs. Overall it was a place to sleep for the night. But man the good reviews were deceiving. And the breakfast room was really dirty. Like my shoes are still sticky. We had to track someone down for food to be refilled. No cups for coffee either.
