I only stayed one night, but I do like the Holiday Inn. I did mention to the front desk nicely that they needed to drain out the tub as it wasn’t draining properly and they had a slight air conditioning leak, which caused the carpet 3 feet out from the wall to be Slightly wet. Nice property otherwise I was impressed with the robot security outside. Thanks, Greg.

It was a great location for what we traveled for. The room itself was not in good condition: there was super hot water with no cold water, it smelled like electrical issues had happened, and the a/c was not Working properly.

A great place to stay and the chicken strips and Philly steak at at the casino next door were a convenient walk away, then easy to eat on the outdoor patio are near the pool while watching the river run on by. Gorgeous sunset. Will stay again!
