The room was quiet, large and clean. What more would anyone want?
Didn’t like the breakfast choices except for the cinnamon rolls. Coffee was great too. I didn’t use the pool.
Also, the bathroom should have a nent for the steam while showering. The room should also have a
The stay was nice until … When the staff cleaned our room on the daytime between our two-night stay, our brown paper grocery bag was missing. It held a half-bottle of wine and $20 worth of road snacks. The maid thought it was trash? I’ll never know because I was told at the front desk that management would contact me in the morning before we checked out, but we were ignored. No accountability, no common courtesy, no consideration. Just a big f you from Holiday Inn. They had my money already, so I didn’t matter any more. I’ll be looking elsewhere for any future travel needs and so should you.
We enjoyed the breakfast. The front desk staff was very helpful. Parking was convenient. We had to request daily room housekeeping. Front desk did follow up after our complaint. We look forward to a future stay.

Liked: Cleanliness, room comfort
In need of a refresh
The place is starting to look a little dated (about 15-20 years) and rough around the edges. The room had a broken coffee maker, the wall thermostat wasn’t connected to the window unit and virtually every wall sconce in the hallways had a smashed shade. The TV wasn’t smart, so no streaming option. The pops of blue give the place a youth hostel vibe.
nice rooms and a good breakfast. Only thing that wasn't good was noisy neighbors. It seemed like they were workers that had several rooms near each other. They stopped making noise around 11 and were again noisy at 6 or 7 in the morning. Not sure that anything could of prevented the noise by the staff. If known that a group might be noisy placing people in other sides of the hotel away from themwould be nice if the hotel isn't full. From what we can tell it was a slow week the night when we were there.

I got 3 rooms and we all were happy during our stay. Enjoyed swimming in the pool. Very clean rooms- entire facility was clean and nicely kept. Staff was extremely helpful, especially Ben. Breakfast was great. We’ll absolutely stay here again.
