House keeping was scarce, first night I checked in I had no wash clothes,3rd night they had failed to clean or tend to the room. There’s mold growing in the shower, the furniture was peeling from being painted, my ice bucket had white paint on it. The lobby has fridges that appear to be in a disarray with frozen food options. The staff was helpful, but the establishment did not appear to be operating at a Holiday Inn standard.

The room had a musty order when we walked in. The bathroom was not so clean. Poor tub and broken soap holder. They should do a better job with cleanliness and maintenance for the price we paid for a one night stay

Won't stay there again..

Employee at check in was not friendly at all, bordered rude. Pet friendly hotel and there was a barking dog 2 doors down a screaming crying toddler banging on the wall next door. Room smelled horrble like pet urine. Bed & pillows were clean and very comfortable. Breakfast had a lot of choices but didnt taste good. Check out employee was just as unfriendly as check in person was.

One drippy night

The air conditioner had been left off in the room in August. Upon our arrival, it was extremely humid and very warm. The floors and walls had condensation on them, and even the sheets felt wet. It was like the carpet had just been cleaned and the room left closed up sopping wet.
