Poor experience
Terrible. The hotel receptionist provided poor customer service. She had the exterior glass doors locked and would not let us in the lobby. She spoke to us from 20 feet away through the glass doors and she kept repeating, “we have no rooms, contact your booking agent”. I tried to explain that I already had my reservation with confirmation number but she would not give me an explanation. She continued to repeat herself. There was another family that was there before me and she was telling them the same thing as they were in the same predicament. They had their reservation but were not allowed in. This was very frustrating and caused me to have to look for a last minute change of hotels. I’ve stayed at Holiday Inns for close to 30 years now and this was honestly my 1st bad experience. The receptionist could have done better. Now I have to wait on trying to get my money refunded. Not sure if I’ll give them another chance. Maybe, maybe not.

Normally I would have asked to switch rooms, but after working 15 hours and only having 7 hours to rest and go back to work I just dealt with it. But once those elevator doors opened to the third floor it was nasty. I didn’t understand why the hallway was so hot and had nasty odors coming from eacb room like there could be a dead body in one until I got to my room. The entire third floor just creeped me out. The air conditioner was on its lowest at 60 degrees but the room stayed at 78 and my sleep number is usually 68. The carpet by the AC was soaked and has a mildew smell to it. I figured all the rooms had this problem and the hotel didn’t know how to handle it. I travel a lot and the free soap and such is the cheapest they can provide in the hotel business. The breakfast was just sad so I went towards the oatmeal as a saving grace, but it was wayyy too runny. The front desk was delightful though!

The property is clean and has a fresh look. Although, there is no room available for early check in (we had a red eye flight) checking in is fast and easy. Our room is clean and tidy however the bathroom lights is not working. Breakfast is very good and yummy. Parking is spacious.
