This facility was undergoing a complete renovation, pool was closed, breakfast area was broken up into two areas. They did the best they could do under the circumstances but I likely would have stayed someplace else if I had known they were doing a renovation!

I can think of nothing that I liked. We had two rooms. The bathroom door did not close on one room. The main door on the second room was very hard to open or close. We asked for a wakeup call for 4:30 AM. It never happened. There was no coffee available in the room. I always tend to get that a Holiday Inn. The pool was out of service. It sure would have been nice to know that ahead of time. Two receptionists were disinterested.

The hotel is under major construction and has dust everywhere on the first floor. We were not warned about this. The lobby area is a joke, cramped and a total mess. The breakfast area is crowded and poorly arranged with some of the foods not available for 15 minutes (or not at all). Several staff members were surly and very poor communicators. No one was at the check-in desk when we arrived. We waited and waited until finally someone showed up. Two staff members were excellent (Lulu and Sam), but despite their kindness we will never stay at this property again. For the hefty price we paid, it was awful.

Hotel is very dated and extremely dirty. Even the windows haven’t been cleaned in ages. Carpets haven’t been vacuumed in I’m Not sure how long. Looks like they have started to renovate but the hotel needs a major cleaning before they do anything. We thought about switching hotels but more a a pain since we are only here for one night and leaving early. Staff was great checking in. Area is a bit sketchy and weird.
