Decent property.
Pros:

Nice facility. I think Holiday Inns are more expensive than other brands for the same level of amenities.

Cons:

Check in was slow. Property didnt have a second person to handle the line.
Couldn't connect my laptop to the TV. Very annoying.

Pros:

I think it’s wrong that you close your restaurant for food at 9 o’clock at night on the weekend, and then do not allow guests to bring any food in from an outside location into the public gathering areas including outside sitting areas. We attended a football game and got back to the hotel at 8:30 at night. Our family group had four rooms which could not accommodate all of us together to eat easily without risking spilling on the white bedding in the rooms. We asked the front desk if there was anywhere else we could all get together to eat since we all came from far out of town and wanted to spend time together and we’re told it was not possible. The staff were very friendly about it, but it was just disappointing that there was no alternative option.

Pros:

The staff members were nice. The room we checked into had a dirty toilet. We asked the staff to clean and remedy the toilet and they handed us a plunger. We hadn’t made the mess but they asked us to fix it. We went back to the front desk and they kindly switched us to a new room which was clean and the staff did this with kindness. The rest of the hotel seemed very clean
