We rented 2 rooms 1st room the AC was broken, then went to check the second room and came back to the first room and could no lomger get in the room. Went to the front desk they said the battery was dead in the door. After them checking the AC they moved us to a new room. The 2nd one the tub was clogged. But the AC worked. But after leaving the 2nd room and coming back Went to get back in again could not get in the room again we were told the battery was dead in the key reader. Very ran down, muggy and has a bad smell. Would not recommend this hotel

The hotel smelled musty and the bedding felt damp. Your room only gets cleaned every 4th day that you are there with no restock of towels unless requested. There is also no complimentary breakfast and the hallways were very warm with lots of wear and tear on the walls and trim. For a hotel that charges close to $300 a night we were expecting a little more.

The staff was really nice! When we got there our room wasn’t ready but they were able to get it ready fairly quickly. The property definitely is not the most up to date, but it works for one night. The area around the hotel isn’t the greatest either, but we had no issues. Overall a fine stay!

This was not what I would expect from a Holiday Inn. The property was poorly maintained, and exterior needed power washed and landscaping weeded…the grass had not been cut in some time…The lobby had discolored and chipped furniture. Elevator smelled like stale food…the room was ok, but the wallpaper was peeling, paint was chipped, the shower needed a good scrubbing, and the fixtures were rusty. Curtains also did not close completely as the pulls were broken…Breakfast was poorly managed as they were out of everything when we arrived and only bananas and bacon were replaced in the 30 min we were in the breakfast area… if this was a $100 per night room, it would have been as expected but it was well over $200 per night….just disappointing all around…

The staff was very friendly and the breakfast was tasty. The first thing we noticed on the way to our room was a bad smell in the hallways. As we entered our room it felt quite warm and humid. I turned down the thermostat, but it never seemed to reach a comfortable temperature. The carpet in the room seemed sticky near the door and the bathtub looked very warn and stained. It just gave it an overall unclean feeling and I wouldn't want to go back.

Pick someplace else
Hotel was in a great location for a baseball game, but that’s about it. Rooms and general property not in great condition and needs a total refresh. Stains on walls and carpets and fixtures throughout the property. Reserved a non smoking room and room smelled like someone had been chain smoking in there for six months. Thankfully it was only one night.
