The shower had the best water pressure of any hotel that I’ve ever stayed at in my entire life. I will go back to this place just so I can use that shower. It’s about 10 times better than my shower pressure at home and the water is soft. Everything else was great too. The room was clean. It was big and comfortable. Excellent place to stay.

We had a pretty disappointing experience at this Holiday Inn. We arrived around 7 PM and there was no one at the front desk. When a staff member finally came out, instead of apologizing, he said he was the only one here and that he was busy. This unprofessional manner made us feel like the place was short on staff and not well managed. The room wasn’t much better. we found hair from previous guests on the bathroom wall, and the hairdryer was very old and dirty, even dropping some paper-like debris when we used it. Overall, both the service and cleanliness were far below what we expected from a Holiday Inn
