Hotel was fine, but one elevator! For the entire building! Not a great design. Also, ice machines were only on the first and third floor. I was on the fourth of course. Bed very comfy. Toilet sits a little low. Other than that I would stay again.

Did a quick overnight stay on my way to somewhere else. The check in staff was very friendly, and the room was nice enough, though some of the hotel features are a bit outdated. The free breakfast had a wide variety of options including cinnamon buns and fresh pancakes which makes for a great start to the day. My only complaint is that this hotel needs a dehumidifier. The humidity was so high that the carpeting is perpetually damp and it even made my phone charging port so damp that I couldn't use it for hours until it dried out. If i had been staying more than one night this would have been a significant issue.

This looks like a renovated property, I think Holiday Inn took over an existing property that may be going thru renovations but it appears to be kinda old. Nice big room and if you still like refrigerators and microwaves in rooms and good continental breakfasts, this is a decent place.

Overall, good stay. Staff was wonderful. Breakfast was wonderful. Beds were comfy. Seems like a very old hotel that needs better maintenance. No hook to hang towels on. Stained carpet. Rusting fixtures in restroom. TV…terrible! Never could watch a whole show as it just skips in and out. Restarted several times, never solved it. Overall, ok stay but some details could be addressed.

All was nice. Unfortunately I did not get to take advantage of the breakfast due to time. Start at 6AM and closes down by 9AM. First morning we weren't up in time. Next day we left too early. Not a big deal. Room was spacious, staff was great on check in and out. Only thing I really had difficulty with was the TV kept losing it's signal. The overall experience was great. This location is close enough to dining and even grocery. Thank you for the stay!

Just overall not well cared for. Management took room out of service when we complained on checkout. Unexpired carton of milk was clabbered/spoiled! No discount offered since we booked with Expedia.

Everything was excellent on my stay except for 1 thing. Whenever I stay at any hotel I like to enjoy a pancake or waffle at breakfast. I was surprised that the pancake maker was out of order. I think it had been out of order for some time. I was at a family reunion this year and will be going next year. Holiday inn is generally very good but I was disappointed in the breakfast. More than likely I will look for a different place next year. Sorry for the complaint!
