Do NOat

Our room was filled with a smell of weed. You could see the smoke still in the room. There was an odor elimination machine plugged up and running on the desk when we arrived. There was also guys hanging out with the staff at the front entrance that made my crew feel very uncomfortable.

Super nice people, room was clean and nice enough. Downside was being in the first floor. Unbelievably loud, people walk by in the hallway at all hours chatting with no regard for those around trying to sleep. Being that first floor rooms are across from the pool, you also get the noise from kids playing in there and the noise from the doors that lead into it shutting closed.

Great location for our stay

The front desk staff was always very friendly and helpful. The overall cleanliness around the hotel was great however the room itself could have been cleaned better especially the shower. The housekeeping situation throughout our entire 4 day stay was super frustrating too!! The first day there they woke us trying to come in just a few minutes after 8am then the next day they never even came by the 3rd day they came in and only took the towels and left new towels. Then the 4th day (day of check out) even with the do not disturb on they tried coming in a few minutes after 8am again. Breakfast was good but not as great as we've come to expect from Holiday Inn again just seems to be depending on staff working that day.
