The downside, the hassles out weighed any positive experience.
Pros:

The continental breakfast was well presented and easy to access. Loved the coffee.

Cons:

The heavy smell of chlorine on the sheets and towels was off putting and made it difficult to sleep, breathing in the chlorine all night. If, I could suggest, use or provide some aromatherapy scents to make the rooms smell less sanitized. I like White Barn, concentrated room spray; sold by Bath and Body Works. It is the best!
Our ADA room had a nightstand in ill repair. The jagged edge of the nightstand caught my husband’s arm and tore his skin in 2 places. He bled pretty good because of it.
Lastly, I booked our reservation online and I was sure the Holiday Express was described as accepting/pet friendly. However, at check-in we were told their hotel was not pet friendly and we would have to pay additional $250. My husband contested this. The hotel was not willing to prove to us that the room we were staying in was free and clear of any prior pet spots. So we felt they were not trustworthy.
When we travel, we don’t leave our dog alone in unfamiliar surroundings. She goes with us, so there would never be a problem of her marking the room, therefore no need to charge for a superficial inspection or cleaning.

Booked hotel no room they kept my $344.70 now I have to pursue fraud investigations
Pros:

I booked it through Booking.com. I then received a phone call saying that they didn’t have any rooms. And that I had to find something else at 8 o’clock on a Friday night.

Cons:

They didn’t have a room. They took $344.70 for one night at this crappy hotel they took my money and then they called me to tell me that the connection with Booking.com was messed up and that I have to process a refund. Booking.com is blaming Holiday Inn. Holiday Inn is blaming Booking.com. All I know is they have my money and this feels like fraud.

Cons:

Our toilet wouldnt flush and it over flowed. Took the lady a long time and 2 reqest for a plunger and more towels. My husbad had to turn off the water to the toilet and she held out door open and watched as my husband had to work on their toilet. We hadnt been in the room more than 20mins. Very unprofessional. Also asked if she could take all the wet toilet water towles. She said place them outside out door and she would come back by and pick up. Guess what was still there in the morning... the soaking toilet water towels. Not to mention when my husband opened the toilet top with was full of mold. Never once did she apologize or offer a different room or anything. By fast one of the worst experiences ive EVER had with a hotel.

A pleasant stop over for a trip to the Pacific Coast.
Pros:

Reasonable breakfast selection including hot items and the location was ideal for using the Interstate 5. Good selection of nearby restaurants.

Cons:

The pool was out of action although we were no planning on using it as we were out all day when we stayed there.
