It was nice but our shower in room 306 barely had any water dripping out. It could use some updating.

I made our reservation 2 days before our arrival. I called the property directly (unfortunately i didn't get her name) to confirm they have a pool for my 3 year old grandson. I was told they do have a pool so i booked it. When we get to the property i asked the location of the pool. I was then told that the pool was closed because it needed an inspection. I wasn't told that when i called. There were other issues with the room as well but that is my main complaint.

The landscape was horrible, googles drooping on the walkways, the grass needed to be cut and parking lot needed to be cleaned. The pool was green, dirty and fill of leaves. Once off the main level, the hallways were hot and smelled stall, they did not have the AC on in the hallways. The first room they gave us had puddles of liquid on the floor, two large puddles on the carpet and one in front of the bathroom door mini-fridge. There were two dead bugs on the floor in front of the mini fridge. They did change out room which was better, however, the shower had hair in it, the bathroom floor had hair on it, there was trash that was not cleaned besides the nightstands. The mattress for the pull-out bed was very old, we could not use it because it was too thin and you could feel the metal springs. We decided to not add another night to our trip and just go home

In our room, the toilet was loose (caulking around bottom of the toilet was peeling off and dirty), bugs in the bathroom. We did not get our room cleaned, they said we hung the not ready yet sign to long on the door (We took it down by 12:30 and were told sorry too late. The rooms are not ready to go into until 3:00 so I don't understand why they didn't come back and check to see if we took the sign down. For $400 for 2 nights I expected a much better experience. I would take this hotel off your list as a recommended hotel. I will NEVER stay in a Holiday Inn ever again.

Never cleaned our room the 4 days we were there. I called the front desk to ask for the house cleaning staff to come to our room, stated she would and they never came from day 1-3 day 4, we went home. There was blood on my sheets so please check. I got clean covers and made my own bed, no staff to help.

Upon entering the hotel there were people smoking weed at the entrance. The lobby had a large leak dripping into a bucket. Once reaching the floor I was staying on, the temperature was around 90 degrees in the hallways. The room was dirty and had stains on the sheets, with food leftovers all over the microwave. The pool was completely abandoned and overgrown with algae. I booked this based on solid review online but it was overall one of the most disgusting hotels I’ve ever stayed in.

The stay was okay. The staff were very polite and helpful. The main reason for staying at this location was for the pool but it was closed due to ownership change and some licensing changes.

Had a cockroach in in the room and the lobby wall had a smaller one climbing it. Room was clean other than that. Checking in was told by a staff member that they weren’t sure if the doors were going to be closed due to circumstances. A lot of Staff quit earlier in the day.

The bathroom was nice except for the tub. It needs to be replaced. The liner was peeling. There was not an ice machine or vending area on my floor. Overall, a very nice room, but I don’t think it was worth the $230

The pool was not open! The room was never clean, the staff was never friendly as we were Hotel.com customers not theirs. In 7 days they got trash out of room 2-3 times but that did not mean the cleaned the room. They are just now under new owner so that may help? But I would have to get a good rate to try again. I have traveled 20 years and this was not good!

The pool was closed and was told they are closing it down. The staff at the breakfast bar were very rude and the rest of the staff were just mediocre at best. Your staff is not happy. If you can’t give a good experience just close this place down. I won’t be back.

The hotel was fairly clean for the most part but the customer service was absolutely horrible. The red head working the night shift was absolutely the worst human I have had to deal with. Our room description was one king bed and pull out sofa bed. We went to pull out the sofa bed and no bed. The lady goes well whoever checked you in should of told you. She was the lady who checked my husband in and said absolutely nothing!! Nothing was done about it we just had to deal with it apparently. The lady lacked customer service. Not only did she get rude with me. My 15 year old went to ask for more towels and she was rude to my daughter! A freaking kid!!! Thank God it was only one night and we made due. Not to mention we were there with a group and they all encountered the same horrible service. Needless to say we won’t be using this hotel ever again.

Hotel had a great location rignt next to a walmart, shopping, fast food. Hotel was clean and kid friendly had board games in the lobby. Let us check in 45min early was a plus. Only bad thing was had to move rooms because we paid for a sofa bed but didnt get one. Bad thing was when it was bed time our sofa bed had no blankets, pillows, sheets, or mattress protector. Called the front desk and was told I had to come and get them from the front desk. Got to front desk and all the had was a fitted sheet and sheet. No pillows, blankets, mattress protector or pillow cases. Then needed to come back dow latet in the evening because there werent enough towels in the room. Overall descent hotel would stay again
