There were som initial growing pains with the new system being implemented, but they were generous and complemented breakfast. Fixed every issue expeditiously, with friendly front counter staff. Restaurant food was delicious and fresh. Good menu options to choose from. Only issue was the restaurant waitress at breakfast. Took at least 10 min to get our drink order, spent another 10 min on her phone prior to bringing our drinks.

Holiday Inns are not what they used to be. We had to change rooms (even after an upgrade) due to a very noisy air condenser located outside the room. They were very accommodating. However, then we got stuck in a room that had a dog barking constantly in the next room. Not the property’s fault however I don’t understand why hotels allow pets for this reason. The room was spacious but just didn’t like it. The toilet was so low to the floor that I could barely get back up after using it. Why is it so hard to install comfortable toilets? No cleaning service unless you fill out a form and turn it in by 9 am!! The food was horrible. The complimentary coffee and breakfast items they offer are not worth the effort. Only saw muffins 2 days in a row in the “complimentary” area. No granola bars or fruit as advertised. Coffee horrible. Just overall not good for how overpriced it was.
