Was here for a banquet. The food was absolutely great! As were the servers there. Went after to check in, as check in time was 4pm and it was 4:30 but never got a room until 5:40. The bed was clean, the trash cans had new bags but there was debris all over the floors. I wasn't calling the front desk bc of how little they cared about actually getting me into a room I paid for and just kept saying I have to wait! Never again! I only stayed here because of the banquet. I will happily drive elsewhere after an event then ever stay in another holiday inn.

Beyond being outdated, there was black mold in the shower, multiple spiders crawling in the shower and sink, there were crumbs in the pullout sofa bed, and the heating/cooling system made the loudest humming noise that would only stop when the system was completely turned off.

The staff was friendly but i could barely understand what he was saying. They are in the progress of updating and used the pictures of the updated rooms to advertise. That wa misleading. My was was very outdated. It had cracks and holes. Visible stains on the furniture. A small tv. And all i heard all night was traffic outside.

It looks like they are getting ready to start renovations. They should not be rent out ANY rooms with in the deplorable conditions of the rooms. My room looked like someone with animals had lived in the room. Lampshades broken, carpet pulled up, stained, and bubbling, furniture with huge scratches and gouges. It was not in condition to rent out!

Not worth the price, but still okay
You can see they are working on remodeling the hotel, updated key entry for rooms and building, fresh paint, but the rooms still need work, shower/tub is dated and needs some major updates. I don't see how this place is on average a $120 plus a night hotel with the current state of the rooms.

Showered with no hot water. Light was out at sink. Shaving in the dark sucked. The hotel is old and needs work and attention to detail. Not worthy of Holiday Inn brand. This visit sucked. Never again. Lots of newer choices in the same area.

I was there only for a quick one night stay. I really only slept and showered, but my bed and pillows were very comfortable and the water pressure in the shower allowed somewhat of a shoulder and head massage that helped ease a headache!

The family suite that I paid quite a bit extra for was not available when we showed up. This was after a 12 hour drive with 2 kids. They had given it to a wedding party and blamed it on me booking through Expedia instead of directly through them. They sent 3 adults and 2 kids to stay in a standard room. It hadn't even been cleaned since the last guest. Then I had to wait 30 minutes in line and they moved me to another room that wasn't a suite but they claimed it at least had a sofa bed. When we got to the room, it did not have a sofa bed. I then stood in line again for another 30 minutes and the assistant manager finally gave us a room with a sofa bed (but it was not a suite and did not have a separate bedroom, like was advertised and I had paid for). Then on the second night we got back to the hotel after midnight and our keys did not work to get in to our room. My children had to sit and wait for over 45 minutes while I stood in line to get the attendant to fix the the key. I feel as though I should at least receive a partial refund as I did not get the room I paid for and for all the stress this caused on our family trip. I have been using expedia for over 20 years now for my travels and am questioning whether or not I should use it again.
