Bed was comfortable, room was clean. Lighting was dim, but the worst part was the thin ceiling/floors. Everytime someone above me walked it was booming and even woke me up a few times.

We had a pretty disappointing experience at this Holiday Inn. We arrived around 7 PM and there was no one at the front desk. When a staff member finally came out, instead of apologizing, he said he was the only one here and that he was busy. This unprofessional manner made us feel like the place was short on staff and not well managed. The room wasn’t much better. we found hair from previous guests on the bathroom wall, and the hairdryer was very old and dirty, even dropping some paper-like debris when we used it. Overall, both the service and cleanliness were far below what we expected from a Holiday Inn
