Stains on the pillow cover. Stains all over the floor. Toilet was running when we walked in and when I flushed the toilet the smell got worse. Moved us to another room and the ac wouldn’t work and the room was still dirty.

College graduation stay

Stay was overall good. We stayed for my son’s college graduation, only one elevator was working, pool was freezing, hot tub was not hot and jets did not work. My parents asked for a king room and they got two queens. And their air conditioner was not working.

That it was a larger lobby and breakfast area than normal, probably because it originally was a Holiday Inn. Friendly personnel. Didn't like that yhe restaurant was gone, didn't like the low toilets, didn't like that there were no instructions regarding the tv or working the remote. We couldn't get it to change channels-- so no tv.
