The room was fine, clean. Breakfast was okay. I didn't know until the day before our stay that we would have to pay 40 dollars a day for parking and when I got there they said that the parking was 50. Showed them the email that I got that says 40. The lady at the front desk was nice and charged me 40 instead. I think if your already paying for a room you shouldn't have to pay that much or at all to park in their parking garage, but other than that it was fine.

Parking was 50$ additional for every night. The entrance to the building is a maze because you are required to check in through the Hotel Indigo lobby, and there is no one available to assist you in the Holiday Inn lobby. The night auditor was unprofessional and unhelpful when we had a simple request to fix the plumbing in our room for hot water, given the 40-degree outside temperature. Overall never going back there

Terrible experience. My family was moved 3 Times in the matter of 1 hour due to cleanliness. I reserved and paid for a SUITE (2 QUEEN bed, living room with a pull out couch) (family of 4)..First room was FILTHY!!! Feces on the wall in the living room, bathroom light not working, room not vacuumed with debris on the floor. Second room was a STUDIO and ONLY had ONE bed, no couch. Third room was functional due to being a handicapped option. Bed sheets still dirty. Stripped bed and got own blankets. Outside view was a homeless encampment. No security and parking was almost $50 per day in the ghetto. Elevator was broken. Split hotel floorplan with 2 hotels in one is the worst idea. Confusion to say the least. Due to ALL the inconvenience I was offered 25% off my stay...save yourself the headache and just stay somewhere else.
