Room was comfortable and clean. Pool was nice and enjoyable. There are maintenance needs that do not seem to be addressed..... washing machine did not work, ice machine did not work, no vending machines and the lobby refrigerated drinks and snacks were scarse. Location was good. Cost was affordable.

If you stay 3 nights or less, no cleaning service. No housekeeping services. You make your own bed. You pick up towels, toilet tissue and other items at the front desk.

Disliked: Cleanliness

This was a stain on Holiday Inn’s reputation.

Arrived @2:45 was asked to wait until 3pm to check in. Elevators were not working when we arrived. Floor in front on elevator was dirty. Carpet down to my room was dirty and stained. Never say a maid on our floor until Friday. Breakfast staff unfriendly and ran out of food/ coffee @8am on Tuesday. New owners are the worst. No knowledge of cleanliness or operations. Lobby was very hot when we arrived.
