False advertisement of breakfast

We usually stay at the holiday inn across the street but after looking at the cow palace website we seen they offered a good breakfast with cream Brielle French toast etc. we booked cow palace due to it being redone. The hotel didn’t serve French toast when we asked the front desk they said they needed to update the website that they haven’t served French toast in a long time. It was disapointing and our kiddo was upset.the breakfast was mediocre. False advertisement. The pool was under construction and not useable. We stayed in a suite and the neighbors kids ran up and down the patio area being loud until midnight then once that stopped the adults were pounding on the doors etc of their room. Not very insulated for a suite we heard everything from next door. The staff was great and polite. We will continue to stay at the holiday inn as their pool is always working and their breakfast is always on point.

it advertised having a pool and a restaurant. The swimming pool or supposed for repairs and the restaurant was not open until the next day. we were assigned a room and upon entering the bathroom was never cleaned as it still had towels on the floor. I notifying a host. she accused my wife of being rude and that it wasn't her fault instead of just apologizing for the messed up and dealing with the problem.

I do not know her name but our waitress at dinner was exceptional. Our grandson became ill at dinner and didn't eat his meal. She went to the manager and was able to remove it from our tab. Later when I saw her she asked how he was doing as we ended up taking him to the ER. Very sweet and great service.

Charged my card a higher rate.

The room is spacious and really well decorated. The front staff was nice when i checked in, but the pool and hot tub were closed for repairs or something which was why we picked this hotel. That was really frustrating. There is no elevator either. What really made me upset was that they charged me $12 more than what hotels.com showed as my all in price with taxes. So paying more and getting less is not okay.

This place is a gem. The rooms are older but huge and comfortable. All of the staff were accommodating. Eat at the restaurant! We’ve been on the road for days and this was easily one of the best meals we had.
