When we pulled up & walked in, there were events going on which is amazing. However, once we got to our room, it was very musty inside. I turned on the a/c which helped. Bed posts under the frame were oxidizing, bathroom shower was leaking, furniture was outdated, the tv had hardly channels to watch & the hallways/elevator was humid & hot. I was certainly expecting a lot more for a hotel that hosts events. Super disappointed. Couldn’t find the pool either.

So the facilities were excellent however getting any staff to respond was a nightmare. I booked a 2 queen standard room for 4 adults and was inly provided with 2 towels. When I politely asked for a few more I was told that "they didn't have any". I asked again and got somewhat of an attitude. After asking for a third time, I was finally provided with them quite a bit later. There were no towels at the hot tub or pool and there were unattended children there with no oversight from staff. We tried calling the front desk before our checking to see if the rooms were ready (as we were coming in from out of town for a funeral) and couldn't get anyone to pick up. 3 calls later someone answered with no clear answer if our rooms were ready. They just told us to come in and see. Finally, the toilet in our room clogged and yet again, no answer from the front desk. It was hours before someone came to the room to fix the toilet. I'm usually not a picky person and the hotel was in great shape but it seems like the place was either severely understaffed or the staff just didn't care. Sorry to say it but I was disappointed in our stay.

Not Great

We decided to stay at this Holiday Inn due to its proximity to my sister's house. Also, they gave a choice at booking for 2 Queens (vs 2 doubles). The beds were smaller than typical queens but the room seemed fairly clean. The bathroom though had a lot of pink mold/mildew which could have easily been fixed with spray cleaner. The unfortunate problem we had was our next door neighbors were loud and running around the halls until midnight. Then they were continuing to open and close the doors until 2:30am. We spoke with the person at the front desk who said they would talk to their manager. The manager said they would take 20% off our bill (per the person at check-out reading the notes). At check out they assured us the manager would take this discount once they arrived at 1pm and we would receive a phone call. However, we have yet to get the discount or the phone call and that was 5 days ago.

The property is not at all what the pictures online on Expedia showed. My room had ceilings that were peeling , holes in the walls and a continually running water in the bathroom tub. If I hadn't arrived at such a late hour from my flight, I would have left even earlier than 7a the next morning. Thankfully I was able to book another hotel which was way better than this one. I barely slept at all. The bathroom was very small and it was a little noisy in the middle of the night. The customer service was nice, much much nicer than the room.

I don’t know how to start with this review I was looking forward for a relaxing couple of days but the hotel made that impossible. First I gel or like I was catfish with what the picture on line it’s definitely doesn’t look like that after you check in. The pool is tiny and constantly lots of people in it, children yelling playing which is fine but if you’re looking for relaxation. It’s not gonna happen. I booked a two queen bed but they gave me a single queen bed on 1st floor on a handicapped room so taking a shower was hard because the shower was really low I had to bend down to take a shower, then after you shower all the water gets outside even with a curtain and doesn’t drain all the way so halo of the bathroom is flooded and wet. Third they out chairs and tables right in front of the rooms so when people sit and talked you can hear all the conversation inside your room it’s so noisy you can even hear the yelling of the kids all the way from the swimming pool. I asked for a different room but they didn’t have any they said, because the sheets has lots of hairs inside and they’re is a blood stained in one of the pillow cases. They had to changed all the linens but house keeping manager didn’t not even apologize and just gave me a cold look like i inconvenience them for having to change the sheets. I checked out one day early because of all these experience. I will not come back I wasted my money here. I wish I can post the pics here of the sheets with blood and hair.

Pool was nice, but not open enough hours to enjoy. Seriously dirty in the room. Remember to dust on top of furniture! Gross. Staff was unfriendly. Restaurant: eat anywhere else! Overpriced and not good quality, plus very forgetful staff.

Never Stay Here Again

Check in was typical. The room was old. Both the tub and ceiling in the bathroom had rust stains. The noise on Friday night didn't stop until 2am. Kids running around the pool area. Parking was free but never available. I was giving a sign to put in my window for the pancake restaurant parking lot. I went to an event at 9 AM Saturday morning and asked for more towels. I got towels in Sunday at ,10:30 from house keeping down the hall. If I had gotten the towels earlier I would not have been 30 minutes late for an event.
