Convenient with friendly reservation desk staff

Incredibly convenient when attending an event at Golden One Center. Fairly clean. The people working at the reservation desk are amazing - great mood, friendly, fun - seems they like their job. This is the only Holiday Inn I have ever stayed at with no complimentary breakfast and that was a bummer. But it did make us venture out to the nice coffee shops nearby to avoid the $25 breakfast charge.

It was okay

Came here for a one night stay for a concert. Staff was friendly. When we got to our room it smelled like corn chips. It was clean as you can get it, just had an odor to it. The carpet was gross and old. It was wrinkled and needed to be stretched. The bed was comfortable. Had a good nights sleep which is what it was intended for.

The hotel and The staff were amazing. My problem was with Expedia. I booked a room for the day after I actually needed it. That was my fault, and I totally understand that. the hotel said that they cannot change the reservation or refund me because they had not been paid by Expedia at that time. The hotel also said they would not charge me a cancellation fee or any penalties.I called Expedia they told me to rebook with them and they would refund me for the night that I didn’t need. The refund never happened so I was charged double for a room.

We stayed in the hotel for the soccer tournament having Saturday and Sunday early morning games. Both nights there was a loud music near the hotel for the entire nights. I understand that a hotel management is not directly responsible for the outside people who smoke weed and play music next to the hotel. From the other side 1. it is my experience 2. Hotel windows don't block external sounds at all. Hotel itself was fine, but it doesn't matter when you don't sleep at night.

Zero complaints!

Booked our stay super last minute for a concert and everything was smooth sailing. The parking ticket validation is a plus as well as the short walk to Golden 1 arena. So convenient!! So much ease and staff was great. Will definitely be back for more stays.
