I got good rest
Pros:

Omar at the front desk was very nice. The gal in charge of breakfast was also terrific.

Cons:

It's a little bit dated, due for an overhaul, I would think, especially for an IHG property.

It was okay
Pros:

Everything was great ,the room was clean ,bathroom was clean , staff was pleasant .

Cons:

The Pool was dirty and they had no plans of cleaning it , even the pool in my community gets cleaned everyday because that’s how it should be , so don’t advertise facilities that literally not available.

Not a great deal. Especially because the points to go green, ie no daily housekeeping, were not applied to my IHG becaus
Pros:

Breakfast was decent. The staff was friendly and courteous.

Cons:

A little shabby.
The wall paper and molding in room need attention. The pool was unappealing. The elevator wasn’t working well. The one laundry facility seemed wonky, I skipped using it as there was someone else trying to use the one machine. My coffee machine wasn’t working.

Poor consumer service
Pros:

The staff at the front desk were very rude. The first time I called to change my reservation, I was told the change had been made, but it never was. When I called back a second time, they insisted that I had never called in the first place. I was then disconnected three separate times without my issue ever being resolved. Based on this experience, I would not recommend staying at this Holiday Inn.

Pros:

The food in the restaurant was horrible. What chain hotel doesn't offer free breakfast? I would not pay 14.99 for breakfast . The !hobby area did not look very clean. The area was right off the highway but there were not any good restaurants to eat at.

Cons:

Not much.

Pros:

Location was good.

Cons:

Parents letting children run unsupervised until midnight. After a LONG day of traveling, we were unable to sleep until after 1:00 am. We called and requested a quiet room on the top floor early in the day. That request was completely ignored. We ended up on the 2nd floor right in the middle of everything. Will not return.

Great Stay
Pros:

I was pleased, with nothing to complain about. Had the microwave, Keurig and a mini-fridge. Bed was comfortable. I heard practically no outside noise during my stay. Check in and out were a breeze. Nice lobby. Was able to take a hot shower. The hotel in in with a group of two other hotels. Wawa was nearly adjacent.

A good option for motorists visiting southern New Jersey or flying from Philadelphia airport
Pros:

The breakfast, which was $14 extra per day, was wonderful. They even served pork roll, a New Jersey specialty (aka Taylor Ham) which I hadn't had in years!

The staff was very helpful. They will even print out documents for you, which is difficult to get done elsewhere, especially for free.

This was my 4th or 5th time staying at the hotel. For my needs, the location is good, conveniently off of Exit 10 of I-295 . Its name is misleading as it is in New Jersey, not in Philadelphia or even in Pennsylvania. It is, though, one exit south of

Cons:

The hotel is in the midst of updating/modernizing its elevators and its room key system. The latter, in particular, is not very efficient yet, and required visits from the maintenance staff. If you carry them near anything electronic, they cease to function. That includes using the vending machines in the reception desk area.

The vending machines themselves are very overpriced. Guests would do better to stop at the Wawa store on their way into or out of the hotel. They have a great selection of snack foods and light meals at reasonable prices.
