This hotel is conveniently located to shopping & dining within the vicinity, everything is five minutes away. The staff was very nice and courteous. The only thing is, we missed out on the pool because it was closed for maintenance for the evening. We plan to return.

Was given one price on Expedia per night and the nightly rate changed for the next day. Also, when checking in I was asked what service I wanted and was told to feel out a service request. I asked for fresh towels daily. Needless to say I did not receive fresh towels. Guests should be told to dry their feet when coming out of the pool area. Floor was wet in common areas from pool goers.

We asked for fresh towels and trash to be emptied. Room service knocked on door early, I said we where leaving soon, they never gave fresh towels or emptied trash. Both rolls of toilet paper were almost empty when we checked in. So we ran out, went down to front desk and spoke with Ren, asked for fresh towels, and a couple rolls of TP, she would only give me one. I decided to go out and purchase toilet paper over trying to beg for it. Everyone else at the hotel was very good except for her.

Our stay was great. The staff was friendly, the breakfast was good, the beds were very comfortable, and overall it was a nice property. The only thing I wish was better, is the cleanliness of the shower. There was a bit of hair and soap from the previous visitors. Other than that, it was pleasant.

Our stay at the Holiday inn was great! Staff was super friendly and they had signs saying they enforced quiet hours strictly- and it was very quiet and easy to sleep. The beds were comfortable and came with both soft and firm pillows. If I had to think of negatives about our stay I would mention that our room didn’t have a non slip mat for the shower and there was one hair in the tub, everything else was super clean! We would stay here again.

There is so much noise at all hours. They have paper thin walls, but then host school sports meets and tournaments. The "suite" is just a single room with no seperation so we were charged to be close to the elevator. Yes thats right, all their suites are next to the elevator. Worst stay in a long time. Not to mention the check in staff raved about the city view while knowing we were on the second floor and the view would be obstructed. Oh and almost forgot about the constant clicking noise from the light next to the front door. Even if its off. Bottom line, they have all guest sign a noise notice at sign in but it doesnt count for kids/teens
