Stayed a several Holiday Inns and this was the worst one. Greeting immediately with the parking lot / unloading zone area closed so you had to park across the street. While walking into the hotel it’s not really clear why it’s closed. No construction or anything just conned off. We go to check it, the employee kept speaking with a man off to the side I Spanish who at first you would think was a guest, nope he was someone who worked there and I guess made the food because we were told “if the food sucks, it’s his fault” then continues to speak Spanish to him while checking us in. We get to the room, super muggy and the window does open a little (I get that for safety since we are on a higher floor) but not being able to use the AC since it’s “fall” is nuts. The room is dated. We go for breakfast in the morning, sign says “section closed” yet there is people in the area eating and breakfast still had another hour at this point. We just walked by it since we didn’t have much time to get to what we were doing. I guess we were supposed to be seated but no one was there to do it. Food was ok. This was lower on the per night but I suggest spending the money and staying somewhere else.

Parking sucks. Rude bar tender. Room smelled. Pool unavailable due to a party. Should be a time limit even for the kids. It should be free breakfast due to the quality. All other staff were nice, rooms were cleaned and decent room prices

We enjoyed our stay here. We were in town for a baseball game so we didn’t use the room for more than sleeping, but it was very nice and quiet. I would definitely recommend 10/10!

This property needs a total renovation. The room and furniture were nice enough, but the bathroom is outdated. The toilet would run on and off during the night. The AC unit was VERY loud. The parking deck was CLOSED, and the temporary/alternate parking was further from the building. This was very inconvenient. The overall experience felt like a rip off for the price paid.

Stay was great minus the fack that their primary parking spots were not open. Had to use the back lot for parking. Then, we walked through the empty blocked off primary lot to get to the door. The staff were kind and the pool area was clean.
