The staff was friendly, and rooms were clean but very cramped lights in the restroom didn’t fully work room service was not offered, nor were fresh towels. We stayed on the second floor guests above us were so loud it was hard to even watch TV the The location of the hotel is not in the best of neighborhoods.

Horrible breakfast! Room only had 2 bath towels in it and the chairs in the room had some sort of liquid all over it. This had to be the least clean holiday inn we have ever stayed at.

Don’t stay here

Couldn’t really have been worse. No hot water, not enough towels, elevator broke, not a safe neighborhood and not really any amenities that were great options for families. Toilets and tub/shower didn’t work either. They took money a week in advance, charged and insane amount for a room where things didn’t work right. Cancelled our second night and left early, only to find out the next day that they not only DIDN’T refund the night but took an extra $300+ from my account. The site manager is supposed to call me and still hasn’t, site won’t answer the phone for either hotels.com or the corporate office.

Terrible communication

Stay was supposed to be two nights. Breakfast the first morning. Out of eggs. Out of the cinnamon roll things they’re known for. Out of orange juice. No butter. Like so much missing. Then that day when I get back. The water is off!!! No notice no warning. No signs. Water is out. My faucet shot out black sludge that smelled terribly and then I couldn’t grab a shower after a long day. Asked for the second night refunded and I left.

I liked that the front desk woman was very nice and apologetic to incoming guests when she had to go herself to see if their room was ready. She said they were very short-staffed. Our room was very hot upon entry. There was no hot water. I let the water run for about five minutes. Yes, I had it in the correct position, not on Cold. In the morning we did have Hot. Breakfast at 8:40 was almost non-existent. One biscuit left, some gravy. No eggs. Well, two hard boiled ones. No pancakes- the machine was not working. There was bacon, thank you. And oatmeal. I would not stay here again. It was as if the chain was going to go out of business and nobody cared about anything any more.
