My stay was okay. The staff were super friendly and accommodating, and the room was clean. The drain in my shower was clogged, but I let the front desk know & they took care of it immediately. For the majority of my stay (five days), the elevator was not working. Also, there were no streaming services, and I did see a cockroach in the room. It was fairly priced, but I'm not sure I would stay here again. But the staff were awesome!

The hotel was well kept, clean and attractive. The rooms were also clean and look like they had been update relatively recently. The staff was super nice and patient. The breakfast was good and well priced. My only feedback is that the beds were a little smaller than a normal queen but they were very comfortable. The water temperature was easy to control and the pressure was great. I would definitely stay there again.

Room definitely shown some wear and tear. We stayed at another Holiday Inn right before and their furniture was functional and updated so we expected the same. The most disappointing element of the stay was the bathroom keep on running all night and kept us up. We manually moved the lever for it to stop but it eventually went back to running again. We notified maintenance but they never came.
