Charge too much $$ for uncomfortable beds. Smoky smelling room was supposed to be non smoking. This one is not up to Holiday Inn standards. As well as their famous pancake machine was not cooking pancakes. Tammy front desk friendly!

The only thing was that the pancake machine was not dialed in so they were under done and gummy. Fresh fruit was a welcome addition and the size of the milk was great not having to pour it out of a pitcher was nice too. Staff was friendly and courteous.

This hotel appears to be in the process of being updated. The water in the shower is either scalding or freezing. The room was quite large. The sheets kept popping off the bed and the luggage rack literally fell apart as we were trying to move our things into the elevator. The check in staff was excellent.
