Property was okay. Some problems with doors that keep making noise when opposite neighbor comes in and out. Some problems with faucet being way too hard to turn (in handicap room). Fridge door was busted and couldn't hold drinks. Only one luggage cart which was nowhere to be found at checkout time for 30+ min. Non smoking property but that's not really the case in the parking lots where some people did loiter and smoked their "medecinal" blend. Staff was helpful and attentive. Conveniently located close to the airport.

Holiday Inn is our fam #1 choice when we have vacation. This is the worst i experienced. Breakfast and parking are not included (they did say that in Expedia, but I didn’t notice that). The building is old, room is small, sink is outside of bathroom-if someone does skincare later at night, the light is right on your face if you sleep on the bed close to the door. Cleaning lady is not very friendly- I asked extra towers, first day she did give me. But 3rd day she said I need to call front desk to get it- their front desk is not in the building, you need to bring your access card with you , walking to another building

no where did it say we had to pay for parking until we got to the hotel and we were told it’s $25 per night. Our room smelled humid, there was a lot of things broken and missing from the rooms. We ordered towels and they took 4hrs to bring them. Where the paper toilet is located was dirty. the peep hole of the door was broken. No type of breakfast included.

I would stay here again

The location feels safe, parking was spacious. Front desk staff are laid back and approachable. The building is well maintained, including the gym, indoor hot tub, and sauna. The hotel room was large, spacious, clean, and comfortable. My room had a mini fridge, closet, microwave, keurig, assortment of coffee and tea, dining table with two chairs, desk with rolling chair, cabinet, dresser, bedside table, flat screen tv, and two relatively comfortabel beds with 8 pillows in total. There was also an AC unit, as well as a large (clean) bathroom stocked with soap, body wash, lotion, shampoo, and conditioner. The water got very hot, which was lovely. The only complaints I have are that the walls were very thin, as I could hear people talking while walking down the halls. It felt as if our soft steps echoed through the floor of our room. I wish that the bathroom came stocked with a fan as those in the room can hear everything going on in the bathroom.

Nice place - close to the airport!

Spent a short night to catch an early flight from the airport at this hotel. The staff was wonderful and made an accommodation for breakfast vouchers that we were not able to utilize. The beds were comfortable and their room was spacious. Thanks for a great stay!
