House keeping was scarce, first night I checked in I had no wash clothes,3rd night they had failed to clean or tend to the room. There’s mold growing in the shower, the furniture was peeling from being painted, my ice bucket had white paint on it. The lobby has fridges that appear to be in a disarray with frozen food options. The staff was helpful, but the establishment did not appear to be operating at a Holiday Inn standard.

Won't stay there again..

Employee at check in was not friendly at all, bordered rude. Pet friendly hotel and there was a barking dog 2 doors down a screaming crying toddler banging on the wall next door. Room smelled horrble like pet urine. Bed & pillows were clean and very comfortable. Breakfast had a lot of choices but didnt taste good. Check out employee was just as unfriendly as check in person was.

One drippy night

The air conditioner had been left off in the room in August. Upon our arrival, it was extremely humid and very warm. The floors and walls had condensation on them, and even the sheets felt wet. It was like the carpet had just been cleaned and the room left closed up sopping wet.

The property was very outdated, and almost everything was broken. The ice machine wasn’t working, the bathroom shower was leaking and caused wet floors, and the AC didn’t cool the room properly. The room floor was stained and smelled like urine—smh. The highlight of the hotel was definitely the staff, especially the person who checked me in—they were kind and professional. However, I paid for a room with two beds, and at the last minute, they told me they had to switch me to a different room because the one I booked wasn’t available. Very disappointing overall.

They put us in the incorrect room, king room instead of two queen bed rooms, didn’t know until I went into the room. Didn’t try to change the room because it was late and we fit. There was no TV remote or coffee maker in the room. In the bathroom only one mirror light worked. The floor/carpet felt damp. It was in a nice off path type of place, the people were nice but busy.
