Checking in was quick and staff was very friendly. The room was very clean! The beds were so comfortable, it took our shower a while for the water to get warm but once it did it was great. Breakfast was delicious. Parking spots are pretty small and covered is limited but they do have additional parking that’s uncovered. Overall I’d definitely stay here again!

Beautiful hotel poor service

When we first arrive, we got there 30 minutes before check-in, which is understandable to have to wait till check-in, but there is a way to go about it not telling us to find something to do till three. Also, we were told 10 was quiet time because there’s business people there and as I waited for other families came to check in and they were not told about the 10 PM quiet time. I never take things personal, but I had a call front desk every night. I was there due to hearing running in the hallways, kids yelling, and screaming. Yasmin was the person that checked me in. I think she needs a little more mentoring

Property is fine, it does look a bit outdated. One thing Inhad an issue with was the lack of helpfulness by management. We had to change our itinerary and leave early they would not allow us to get a refund, partial refund or some kind of courtesy because we were already in penalty zone. Two days before our arrival. Expedia folks tried working it out and had an arrangement with the hotel to do a separate booking with the same hotel for the new dates once I did that they decided not to honor the agreement because Expedia's rate was lower than Holiday Inns rate. (Whole reason why I went whit Expedia) and expedia had to refund me the new booking. Not a good experience overall but I did appreciate the expedia agent trying to help me out. This Holiday Inn is lousy at customer satisfaction. More importantly for them to keep making money!
