Definitely a gem in the rough here.
Pros:

The staff greeted me upon arrival and was very helpful, cheerful, and friendly. I was pleasantly surprised with the breakfast, wasn’t expecting it, and it was very good, everything was fresh and well presented. My only complaint was that my bed was a little lumpy. Definitely will stay here again!

Cons:

My bed was a little lumpy.

Easy, convenient, uncomfortable
Pros:

It was clean, location is great, easy on/off I-5. The room was big and plenty of supplies. The breakfast had a variety of choices, and all were fresh.

Cons:

The evening hostess, when we checked in seemed annoyed that we broke up her personal conversation with a gentleman.

Pros:

Location. Breakfast was delicious. Bed comfortable, like the sofa and table - the extra space was nice

Cons:

Room lighting - all lights were shockingly bright- energy efficient good- but would have been nice to have 1 lamp with a warm lightbulb.

Probably would not stay there again.
Pros:

The cleanliness of the hotel and our room. The bed was comfortable and linens were nice. There were sufficient plug ins for electronics. Frig/freezer and microwave were nice. Towels were of o.k. quality and quantity. Quiet. The breakfast was good - cinnamon rolls and egg choices and bacon. The staff providing the room cleaning was very nice. The ice machines were working.

Cons:

The hotel is old and dated. Looks pretty sketchy from the outside. The big disappointment was the pool and hot tub area. Very unappealing area. Even though the booking site stated a hot tub/jaquizzi there is not one - it is permanently removed and the pool facility is not inviting - very neglected. There was a stray cat in the parkiing lot. I guess the staff says it "lives" there. The reception staff was friendly at check-in but not available for additional questions - always talking to other staff who were hanging around the lobby. Cookies were nice in the evening - but not of the best quality like at another Holiday Inn we stayed at.
