Hotel was good. No issues there. The only reason I took one star off is because I was charged extra for parking. This should already be included in the price listed on the website. I find it deceiving to leave that information out when booking the room.

Disliked: Cleanliness
Staff, breakfast and everything great as usual, but the room was uncharacteristically uncomfortable. The bathroom was not clean (someone else's hair all over the floor, stains on the sink, etc.) and the bed felt broken/out of whack (partner verified this as it was normal on his side) making for I comfortable sleep. Again, not characteristic for this hotel as I've stayed here many times. I'm hoping it was a one-off experience and am still planning to give it another shot.

We had a really good stay here. The staff was very friendly and the breakfast was straight forward and well prepared. Nothing amazing on the breakfast front but much better than others that I have had. The building is clearly well used..... There is signs of wear everywhere but it was clean and I could see staff taking care of the property the entire time we were there. My only real grumble was the water pressure and more importantly the heat.. it fluctuated pretty constantly. Most of the time it was acceptably warm but not hot. One morning it was HOT, one evening it was cool. I would stay here again anytime.

I hoped that front desk let me know how to make the appointment for housekeeping. It was frustrating having to wait until the last day to be checked. As well as I was charged $110 from hotel but not given the reason why.

Front desk gal could have more welcoming and enthusiastic. Room was comfortable and clean enough (despite mold on the ceiling). Breakfast was good (potatoes and sausage were dry), eggs and biscuits were really good. I appreciate the water dispenser in the lobby area. I appreciate the security guard in the parking lot.

I was disappointed with 1/ paying $20. to park. 2/no room cleaning $$$$ 3/ i had to extend my stay and I was charged a higher rate and $20. Parking again. May be other complaints but not coming to mind. No customer service for frequent flyers… so why be loyal to Holiday Inn????
