Have stayed at this hotel several times now. Checkin and out was smooth and easy, room was clean and we had no issues. Kristina at the front desk was a star as always. The only downside is the breakfast, its not complimentary and not close to be worth $10.95 they charge for it. Limited options and we went at 7 am when it says open at 6:30 and it wasnt completly set up and was luke warm at best for what was there.

There was a hole in the ceiling in the bathroom...looks like something tried to patch it but did a half job on it. But to have that in the bathroom...for the price that I paid for the room to me seemed kind of ridiculous. I have a pic if proof is needed

Computer system was down all afternoon… could not check in guests until making adjustments and finally giving people room keys closer to 4:00. Some folks had been in the lobby since 1:00pm… no offer of anything, water, coffee… lights stayed off in the lounge ( could have at least turned those on since many people waiting were sitting there in the dark) … front desk staff were frustrated I’m sure, but were rather rude to guests coming in the door… hopefully just an out of the ordinary occurrence… the location is great for the ballparks… 1.3 mile walk to the stadiums….

I'm disappointed in the holiday inn. The key system was down and needed the front desk to manually open doors. And the hotel was sold out, so checking in was a nightmare. There was a wait to get escorted to the room. It was an inconvenience
