Everything was clean, seemed like our room was recently renovated. Fridge and microwave were great. Breakfast was good. Nice selection. Pool area was not well lit and kind of small, but functional. Convenient location to the area. I would stay there again.

Stayed here for my son's Navy graduation. Hotel staff was very friendly and helpful. The Hotel streams the graduation and has a small reception afterwards. The rooms are clean and beds are comfortable. Nice place to stay.

Rude staff and mold in the bathroom

I brought my family here so we could visit my sister in law in the Navy. Things started out fine then there was a birthday party of teenagers which is normally fine but this group kept screaming at the top of the lungs in the pool area. I asked them to keep it down and when they started up again I asked to hotel staff and they ignored my request to ask the girls to keep it down or find their mother to keep it down. I called down stairs several times after 9:00 pm to keep ask the girls to be quiet and the staff ignored me again but after 9:30pm offered me a new room but my step son was already asleep. The next day I tried to talk to the new staff and I was taked over and down to. I couldn't get a word in when i was trying to explain I don't mind teenagers having a good time but no one should be screaming that loud and i paid for my family and I to enjoy this hotel and we were extremely disappointed with the staff, the lack of cleaning, and lack of respect. I will never stay at this hotel again and I warn others how disappointed you'll be.

I am so sorry that you didn't have a great experience due to other guests! I understand how difficult it is to rest when there are guests that continue to make noise. We do have quiet hours in place from 10pm to 7am for this reason. I am sorry that some guests could not respect and follow the policy put in place. I do apologize that you were not pleased with the way your concern was handled. I will show my Front Desk staff your comments so that we can be more proactive, in order to provide better customer service! Priti Bheda General Manager

Very nice stay!

Location: Easy drive to Great America, bowling, restaurants and shopping nearby
After a couple of very bad experiences this summer with Radisson and Hyatt hotels, we were hesitant to stay in another hotel. We had a very positive experience here. The staff was friendly and prompt, the place was clean, rooms were clean and comfortable, the continental breakfast was a lot more than just cereal and pastries. This was a very nice place and we will consider Holiday Inns from now on before any other property in the future.. Very pleasing stay!

NOt bad for the Price

Hotel was better than most I stay in for the price. The only complaints were the beds were extremely firm and the pool was not the clearest. They told me they only shock the pool on Monday and this was Sunday night so that was needing more care than currently given. Breakfast was ok and the room itself was fine.

very close to naval base

Pros: Choices...It offered a great hot breakfast, but was walking distance to McDonald's
Cons: nothing
Location: Walmart, food places!
I went to my son graduation from Navy boot camp. The hotel was close to the base and offered a shuttle to the base, but we did not use it because we had a rental car. The hotel was also very close to places to eat and Walmart which was great because we forgot a few things :) . I did not try the metro because we had a rental; but was told it was also close . The hot tub was broken while we were there… all in all this was a great place to stay and I would most definitely stay there again!
