Pros:

The room was clean and staff was wonderful

Cons:

Asked about early check in but didnt need it since we got there after 3. Room NOT READY for over an hour! We had two children under 6. The expense for the room was awful and we should receive some type of refund to compensate for the wait.

Nice hotel, what you would expect from a holiday inn. Good downtown location and parking.
Pros:

Clean hotel, comfy beds, good downtown location easy to get to off highway, good parking. Looks like parts of hotel were recently renovated.

Cons:

At check in had trouble finding our reservation. Not enough servers and slow to get breakfast although food was tasty. Air conditioner somewhat noisy but I think that is to be expected for in room unit.

We were disappointed to say the least. We spoke to the manager and she said booking.com should have made us aware!
Pros:

The location

Cons:

It was under construction. It was dusty, from sanding. The pool and gym were closed. None of this was mentioned upon booking. It was expensive to not have these amenities available.
