Eh..

Hotel seemed clean but there is a smell of musty, mildewy air inside. My room was way worse. It smelled so musty it was hard to sleep. My skin felt sticky and damp. I usually stay at Holiday inn so I'm guessing it maybe just the humidity of the area

Best Hotel in Forest

Bathroom was dirty (hair on floor and tub was not clean) and the carpet looked dirty. Definitely needs to be updated to represent the Holiday Inn brand.

I like that the hotel is close to the casino, but it needs upgrading. The outlets are no good or don’t work. Cheaper hotels at least have a microwave and/or mini fridge. The rest of the facilities are nice.

Coffee pot in the room was not functioning- mildly warm coffee. Bathroom shampoo/conditioner holder was dirty- in room jacuzzi out of order. It was not worth $186 a night. Breakfast served at 6:30 on a weekday- I left at 6am for business. Normally Holiday Inn Express can be worth the extra… just not this one. I will say it was their last room available and it was quiet and the bed was decent.
