We went to Holiday Inn just for a respite and relaxation, with two ten year old girls. We all had a nice relaxing time relaxing in the pool while the kids played. Pool was nice, room was clean and breakfast was really nice, too. Life can be stressful and its nice to have somewhere to get away for a day. We will probably do it again.

I pulled the sheet down for my granddaughter to get in the bed and noticed something was spilled on the top sheet, I looked at the fitted sheet and it was so dirty and had a dead tick on the sheet, now that was so upsetting, just to think my granddaughter was going to sleep on these dirty sheets . The bed next to it they were very dirty, I had to go down to the front desk and tell the gentleman he gave me clean sheets so I had to change both king beds, on my last day there I thought for sure they would refund me for all I had to go through but they didn’t accommodate me at all or say sorry you had to go through this.

Overall, I probably couldn't stay here again. There was cereal in the floor, spots of bloodstain on the sheets, and hair on the bathroom floor. The staff seemed kind of stressed when asked to clean up the cereal because it appeared that they were busy with other guest complaints. They were very pleasant, but it seems the cleaning staff needs better training.

New hotel was nice. However, there was a nonsanitary stain on the wall when we got there, only a very few towels. The maid only emptied trash and put out a couple of towels ( no toilet or sink cleaning). She did make bed. The room is an accessible room, but the bed is too high for comfortable getting on, and we are of average height. Breakfast was good.

We traveled around the US this past Summer and this was the best Holiday Inn we have stayed at by far. Everything was top notch. The breakfast even included healthy options - real oatmeal, whole wheat bread and English muffins! The rooms were spotless and the coffeemaker was easy to use (unlike some of the ones we ran across). It had a great shower that was not based on a tub,, but was specifically a shower - so easy to get in and out of! If all Holiday Inns were this good we would never stay anywhere else!

The handicap accommodations were not handicap friendly. The bathtub was difficult to get into. The bath chair took up almost of the bathing area. Most handicap rooms in other hotels have a walk-in shower. The bathroom does not have enough counter space for toiletries. We had to set up the ironing board to take care of the stuff we use.

Shortly after we checked in, we noticed a bug on the pillow. Turns out it was a bed bug. The front desk person was wonderful in getting us a new room. The response of management was not great. Bed bugs are a serious issue and we were given half off one night of our stay as compensation. No follow up communication. As we were leaving our room, my daughter had another bug, not sure if it was a bed bug, crawl down her arm. After our stay, we had the long task of making sure we didn't bring bed bugs into our home. Somethimg we souldn't have to deal with. It did look like they may have known our room had bed bugs as you could see they sprayed something in the crevices of the headboard, something we didn't see in the room we were moved to. Will not be staying there again.

Horrible experience upon arrival--the hotel had messed up our reservation and it was 1.5 hours before we finally were able to get into the room we had already paid for. The staff were nice, but there is a serious glitch in their reservation system. We had done a 3rd party reservation and that company had all the right info. The hotel charged my credit card, then gave my room to someone else, listing my phone and credit card info that would have allowed that person to charge additional items or trash the room and hold me liable. When we arrived, we were told there was no reservation and no rooms available. After much time, effort, and frustration, the assistant manager drove from home and got it sorted out, only after we threatened to call the police for fraud. The room was fine, but by that late hour we were too exhausted to enjoy it.

I was not told about a 50 to 60 dollar deposit at check in. That needs to be discussed when checking in before someone just finds out about a charge on their card

The complimentary breakfast was far superior to other ‘free’ breakfasts that I’ve had previously. Will definitely be coming back here again when I’m in the area.
