Wonderful

Very clean updated rooms. Stayed twice within a month. Restaurant is small but food was good. Service in the bar and restaurant was excellent.
Only negative was coffee maker was broke in room. One room did not have a functioning wall outlet at the desk. Complementary water was never refilled in the lobby.
Clean room and property. Beds were comfortable. The beds sit very high. I had to give my mom (5’ 2”) a boost up so she could get in bed! lol.
The dining room/bar served good food and the breakfast was good.

Disliked: Cleanliness
There was a considerable amount of mold within the shower, which is unacceptable. The shower door did not stay closed and continued to slide open while the water was running.
Quite a bit of space and very clean. The beds were comfortable but very high. We literally had to jump up to get on them and I, at least, had to be careful betting off. There was one chair in the room some distance from the TV. It would be nice to have a desk chair on casters so that a person could watch the news in the morning without having to jump back in bed. There is plenty of room for another chair.
I booked two rooms on Hotels.com when I arrived, the facility said that they only had one room for me. Currently, I am being charged for two rooms. The Holiday Inn said I had to go through Expedia. No one has responded to my text inquiry yet.
