This hotel downgraded my room even though I booked and paid for it weeks prior to my stay- they said they glad several bookings in the few days prior to our stay so they had to downgrade my room. No offer of a refund. Very poor business tactics. I feel it was because I booked through Expedia which I will not do again and will not book at holiday inn again as well

My overall stay was great. My only complaints are the shower pressure was weak & I wasn't able to reach anyone by phone about getting fresh towels in the morning of check out. I even tried texting the number that they provided me for if I needed anything. Nobody ever texted back.

Think twice before you stay there.

Wanted almost 30 minutes to check in with only one person ahead of me. Manager plus another employee stocking snack store without caring that there were 4 people in line. Hotel was old but clean. Advertises a bar buts it’s in another hotel. They put us in a room next to an outdoor concert going on and heard loud music all night. I asked the same rude front desk person about a certain street and see just saying go left, I asked her north, south east or west and she said, I don’t know just go left. She was mad I was taking her time and rude.

The staff was great, rooms clean, good breakfast, nice location. EXCEPT, there's an outdoor music venue next door that is SUPER LOUD until 2AM. The hotel even leaves ear plugs in the rooms. We won't be back for that reason alone
