The heater in the room was not working, the front desk sent a rude maintenance guy to look at it. He right away said “yup I told them it wasn’t working.” And proceeded to tell us to call front desk for a new room or more blankets. I called front desk & they offered a space heater, due to not having any available rooms. The maintenance guy was not happy having to go back to front desk & bring us heater. After almost 20 mins he returned with a small desk heater for the room. Spent the night in a cold room.

First room that was checked into was not cleaned for the next guess. There was a key card on the desk and bedding was not replaced. The bathroom was also dirty as well. We will switched rooms. The location is nice but hotel needs some updating and doesn’t represent Well as beds were really worn down.

The hotel room certainly didn’t look like the online photos and part of why I booked at that location. The toilet seat was broken and something that would have been a quick fix. The room was comparable to a Motel 6 but dirtier! I booked the room based on previous stays at other locations. When I checked in, I was asked if I had an IHG account and gave her my email. She continued to check me in and I assumed she located my account. I asked her later into the transaction and she stated that she didn’t locate my account. I guess if I hadn’t asked, I wouldn’t have received rewards that I earned. What a total disappointment for a sisters weekend. Don’t waste your money and stay here!!!!! You will thank me later!

The Room was clean, the staff was friendly, but the hot tub was out of order with no signage letting us know. When we asked front desk they said they were aware but had no idea when it would be repaired which was disappointing.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
This location felt more like a motel than a hotel. Our first-floor room opened directly onto the parking lot, and we did not feel safe staying there. We could hear people’s footsteps right outside our window and door, and at times it felt as if they were inside the room. As a result, we checked out early and moved to another hotel. This was the worst Holiday Inn experience we’ve had and did not meet our expectations for the brand at all. Please stay away from this motel.
