The tv nor internet worked. When we complained the lady at the frobt desk said the manager asked if we could use our phones. The shower curtains look like they haven't been changed in a while. You could see mold in the bathroom. And i kept getting bitten by something in the bed.

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.
