Liked: Staff & service
Staff was friendly and professional. Common hallways smelled musty and damp. Room was very basic. Door handle was mounted incorrectly. I thought the handle was broken, went back to desk to report it. Clerk said just lift the handle up not push down. This worked. Had to have the safe replaced. The first one did not work. Overall, this hotel is NOT up to Holiday Inn Resort standards. At least not the area I stayed in. The main pool had loose patio stones at the pools edge. They were not cemented in. Very sharp and unsafe. Maintenace on this property's common areas needs to be improved greatly. HK staff need to be trained not to sing loudly or shout through the corridors, especially in the mornings. Not a bad place for the money but with all the other choices for budget friendly hotels in the area I'd try another property first. Orbitz gave this property a 8.6 rating. NO WAY. The best I would give it is a 7.5.

Our family of four stayed in October 5 days for fall break. Hotel needs renovation. The floor we stayed on smelled old and like mildew.our shower drain was backed up causing you to stand in water to your ankles. The beds were terribly uncomfortable and the bed skirt on one of the beds had a blood stain on it.Pics online were deceiving. Had to call multiple times for wash cloths. One of the days we had no water starting at about 1pm until after midnight due to a pipe that burst. We were unable to shower, brush, or flush the toilet. The cold AC and free parking were probably the only good things about our stay.

We stayed here before and loved it however this time wasn’t the same experience. I had a reservation Friday and checked in very late 2am once we got to the room the bathroom was dirty and there was a bug, I took a video for you. The bed closest to the ac was also broken. You could hear it when you lay down and your body shifts because of it. I did go to front desk in the morning and told them , however we were there for my daughter’s birthday weekend and had time sensitive plans. I had a second reservation for Saturday night as well. When I checked out I did speak to the young lady regarding it. I’m not sure how I feel about staying here again now.

Considering we were at parks everyday this place was fine as a base. However if we weren’t so exhausted from the parks I don’t know how well we would have slept. The girl at reception was lovely and every other staff member we encountered were great including the cleaning staff. To say this place felt unclean wouldn’t be a fair description, the bathroom was spotless, nice shower with free toiletries, however the room felt damp from the second we got in there. We couldn’t walk barefoot because the carpet felt like it made your feet dirty and the sheets felt moist. Maybe due to the aircon but there was no air flow which didn’t help. Weird musty smell in the halls and you could hear the toilet flushing from the room above. There was an event one night which we were not made aware of with loud music, had we had the heads up we’d have made ourselves scarce. The pool was filthy, I couldn’t bring myself to get into it and my boyfriend had one dip, unlike us as we are both water babies. I would say fine for a couple nights but not comfortable at all for a two week stay. Great area for food places, we were spoilt for choice, but nothing walkable. Also a tip the gift shop on the corner of the road the side of the hotel is a complete scam, we didn’t try the others but defo avoid that one!
