It was fine, but we will not stay there again.
Pros:

The breakfast was fresh and tasty. Limited menu, but I like the daily voucher and fresher food vs a continental breakfast.

Cons:

It was not a clean hotel. Our bathroom had obvious mold on the shower door and the shower door didn't close all the way. We were left either holding it closed while we showered or flooding the bathroom floor.

The complimentary coffee was warm at best. I'm an early riser which means I'm usually one of the first at the coffee bar. The airpots and counter were dirty. Stained with old coffee and fingerprints. It was clear the area had not been cleaned throughout our 3-night stay. The breakfast tables were also not sprayed and cleaned between guests, as seen by the condiments, salt and pepper, and coffee spills on the table.

It was a great experience other than the bathroom. And restaurant hours.
Pros:

The size of the room was great, beds were comfortable and the bonus of the fridge in the room was very nice. Temperature was very nice as well. The air was on prior to our arrival.

Cons:

The bathroom door was a slider, not even a pocket door it was like a barn slider, even with the door closed you are hearing everything going on in there. 0% discreet ! You can look out and in the space in the door and the wall. They need to change the door to a regular hinged door. Not good for Taco Tuesday, or bottomless burritos at Bubbas Burrito Bar. Just saying. Oh and there was not a working fan in the bathroom as well.
The restaurant I would have tried however because I wasn’t around for the specific hours of operation I couldn’t have a drink and or a quick bite to eat.

Very happy, kept rebooking the same place, can find cheaper but we were happy.
Pros:

Usual Holiday Inn standard. Good location for us. Room was nice and well appointed. Staff were very efficient. No issues. We stayed here 10 days in total split over numerous bookings while visiting family in the area.

Cons:

Didn’t find anything not to like.
