I had a pleasant stay overall. The room, lobby, and the area just outside the entrance were all very clean, which I appreciated. The staff were friendly and professional. I also really enjoyed the convenience of having a restaurant on-site—but I do wish it stayed open later. Unfortunately, the pool was a bit of a letdown. The jets weren’t working, and there were clumps of hair floating in the water, which made it feel less than clean. With a bit more attention to the pool area and extended restaurant hours, this would be a solid stay.

This hotel is conveniently located, with easy access to the highway and nearby stores and restaurants. The parking lot is very large and easy to use. The hotel staff are pleasant and friendly - everyone smiles and says hello. My room was clean and comfortable, though on the chilly side, and no matter how much I turned up the thermostat, it would not get warmer. The cold air radiates off the large windows, so I had to sacrifice the sunlight for the warmth. The bed was very comfortable, with good pillows too. My stay was peaceful and quiet, and I would surely stay at this hotel again.

The hotel is under renovation, so it’s loud and there are random people walking through. We took a wrong turn going to the parking lot and accidentally walked into a dark dirty basement space, there were no signs leading to the actual exit and it was easy to get lost. We then got to our room and it smelled like smoke and mold. The room was dirty (crumbs on the floor, ceiling looked dirty and cracked around the edges). After about ten minutes we discovered the ceiling was dripping water onto the bed.

For the price thought they would have a complementary breakfast. Is what it is. Also it wasn't the newest. But it was fine. Very quiet for being near highway. Bathroom very small. And short ceiling. Im 5'9 and it felt right above me. I dont know how well it would be for someone over 6 feet. They had dove products which i usually love but I'm questioning if they really were dove. Overall it was ok. Nothing phenomenal for their usual brand.

Holiday Inn was clean and we thought it had everything we needed including nice bright lighting in the bathroom which had been missing at a number of hotels we’ve stayed at recently. But then none of the four outlets in the bathroom worked and we had to dry our hair next to the tv. Then the water would not go down the drain either. A bit disappointing. Breakfast was delicious.
