My original booking was not “available” but we ended up getting a handicap accessible room in its place. When we first arrived in the evening, the parking lot was pitch black. I could not see my luggage in my trunk. I did not feel safe as a woman, with my daughter because you could not see a thing. I’ve never been to a hotel where there were absolutely no lights on to greet customers in the evening. I mentioned to the gentleman at the front desk and he said they don’t turn them on in the summer?!?! First of all, it’s not summer, it’s February. And secondly, you should have them on every evening, no matter what the season is. This is for the safety of all your customers. He did put them on (only b/c I mentioned) and what a difference! I would choose another property most likely in the future.

The staff was very friendly but the beds are too firm. If you are a light sleeper ask for a room at the back of the hotel not facing the street. Rooms are not very sound proof.

First of all I realize that check in was not until 3pm. However, I arrive at 1:45 in hopes a room was ready. I was informed no room was ready and could not check in till 3. So my wife decided to sit in the lobby and wait. I saw 3 people able to check in early. So I went and inquired and was told that because I booked thru Expedia I could not check in until 3. And the people I saw get rooms book directly from Holiday inn. Do Expedia know there are hotels with this policy? Second, the hotel lost power this early this morning and because of my 8am appointment I was unable to shower. No type of compensation at all. I will never stay at another holiday inn.
