When we booked we didn’t know that the pool was not available for these days and we have 2 kids that were very excited to swim. But we didn’t get that notice from neither from Expedia, nor form the hotel. So that was the only inconvenient

Hotel seems to be kind of new, but the reality is that the inside of the hotel is not well maintained. Dirty elevators, dirty carpets and dirty room. It seems like the vacuum was never used on the carpet. One day, my room wasn’t cleaned at all, and I had to ask for towels and shower gel at the front desk.

Great Experience. Breakfast was good and had plenty of options. Clean common areas. Room was at a good temp and cooled well. Had a good vibe and not frumpy. Smelled great when you walked into the building. Pool was well kept. Saw staff cleaning the pool every day I was there. Workout room was clean too. Equipment was working except for the treadmill. Not sure if it was me not knowing how to turn on the distance and time or the machine was broken…idk but it allowed me to do a short run. I Will be booking here again.

No one at front desk in the middle of the day for check-in for a few minutes. Room smelled like old, wet gym shoes as soon as we walked in...noted most of the carpet was damp. AC was cold but noisy, like it was near to breaking down. Window blind was worn/torn but we were able to make it work. Couch had a pretty sizeable hole/tear ~2 inches on top of back. One of the pillows smelled really bad, like maybe it was on the floor and picked up the smell from it. Asked desk about something to help with the odor and they gave us a spray bottle...so we did the work for them...it didn't help too much. Walls were thin...we believe there was a family above us since there was "running" noises like kids running around, which started around 4am both mornings we were there and battled the AC noise in our attempts to sleep. One of the two breakfast area coffee makers broke on 2nd morning we were there.

I didn't like the fact that I couldn't get a good night's sleep because being on the 4th floor you could hear a humming sound all night long and vibration come to find out it was the air conditioning units on the roof. Even taking a sleeping pill you couldn't escape that sound. Thankfully that gentleman cleared that up on my way out af 4 days of staying there.

I requested an upper floor, away from the elevator and the ice machine and I received the opposite. I was on the 2nd floor, out of four, and next to the elevator and ice machine. On the reservation the check out time said 12 noon. When we checked in, we were told the check out time was 11 am, so we asked for a late check out. We were told we could check out at noon, but got a call from the front desk at 11:20 am because we didn't check out yet. The message between staff was not relayed. I asked for an extra set of towels and the towels we were given were dirty. There were two good points...the fresh ground coffee machine was nice. I still wish there was a coffee pot in the room though. Second, the king size bed actually had king size pillows of firm and soft variety instead of the cheap lumpy standard pillows that most hotels use with the king size bed. Shower pan had stains and felt unclean. Showerhead trickled water and the adjustment didn't work.

Booked three rooms and one room had been cleaned. It was missing towels, coffee cups and a/c system was not working. Surprise of the setup new hotels have now a-days in the rooms lacking closets, coffee makers, limited towels, non working cable TV, and smaller half filled amenities bottles. Sorry, but also the thin walls where you hear everything going on next room and hallways. Holiday Inns have really changed except in prices which are higher.
