Many guests explicitly called the property 'very clean' and comfortable, though a subset reported issues (used/unclean towels, overflowing garbage, a bug in the tub). Overall cleanliness is generally strong with occasional lapses.
Service
9.8
Staff were frequently described as professional, friendly and helpful at check-in; several guests praised the front desk and service. There is one notable report of a rude attendant during check-in, but positive service comments dominate.

Standard quality for this hotel tier (location not specifically mentioned in reviews).
Room Quality
6.8
Multiple guests reported room problems: worn furniture, holes in linens, broken fridge, sticky/misaligned doors, bed support issues, incorrect room assignment and damage to walls; these indicate below-average room condition.
Amenities
7.4
Amenities are mixed: an outdoor pool is appreciated, and breakfast is offered, but guests noted broken in-room equipment (fridge), empty pantry, no towels available at times and hygiene issues (flies in towel bin).
Value for Money
8.2
Some guests felt it was 'good value' or praised the price; others said the condition and service issues made it not worth the cost. Overall a slightly positive value perception with reservations.
Food and Beverage
8.1
Breakfast was frequently mentioned as available and sometimes 'amazing' or good, but there were recurring complaints about supplies running out early and an instance of no breakfast due to staffing; overall positive but inconsistent.
Overall Experience
8.8
Guest experiences varied from 'fabulous' and comfortable stays to strong disappointment for some (room not delivered as booked, rude staff incident, maintenance issues). Overall impressions lean positive with notable negative exceptions.

It was just ok.
Pros:

The space in our room was great! The one of the 3 mornings we had breakfast it was good. The other 2 mornings there was nothing it was all gone by 830am. The last day there was none due to the cook not coming in, from what we were told.

Cons:

See above. Also our bathroom door was messed up. It would stick and was hard to open and close. The garbage in the entire hotel were overflowing and never taken out. No food to buy in the pantry area. And the fridge was broken. Lots of stuff was broken or old. This wasnt worth fhe cost.

Very disappointed. Holiday Inn can do better than this.
Pros:

Hot and continental breakfast available

Cons:

The furniture was very worn in the breakfast area, the bath towels had holes in them, the bed comforter had a hole in it. And there was a bug in the bathtub.

Wish we booked somewhere else
Pros:

The breakfast was fairly good

Cons:

We didn't get the room that we paid for.
We didn't receive a refund for the lesser room.
The attendant at the desk was very rude to my wife during check in. Once we gave in to the bad situation he did play nice.
Our towels were either used or not properly washed.
The room had damage to the walls (looked like water damage).
The sofa bed didn't have sheets on it.
(Not to do with the hotel or staff) There was a family on the floor that let their kids run wild at all hours and kept waking us up (including our one year old).
