Pros:

The breakfasts were really good for continental breakfasts....great coffee!

Cons:

I was super disappointed to find out, 3 hours before arrival, the pool was closed indefinitely. Only to discover a day later, there were people swimming. It was a stay to celebrate grandchildren's birthdays and they didn't bring swim suits....because we weren't told the pool had reopened!!!!! There was A LOT of disappointment. Otherwise, a decent place to stay

Overpriced and not worth the headache
Pros:

Location was close to the mall

Cons:

The hotel was right next-door to an abandoned building, which had vagrants going in and out of it. The Wi-Fi did not work and at 12:30 at night. There was drunk people screaming in the hallways for 10 minutes and the police were there yelling at her and arresting her and it was extremely loud.

Our card key didn’t work and we were left standing outside in the pouring rain.
Pros:

The breakfast was quite good.

Cons:

The receptionist that was on duty when I checked in wasn’t very nice.
I was very upset and disappointed that I couldn’t use my Holiday Inn Points because I didn’t book directly with the hotel. No where on the website did it say anything about that. If it had, I would not have booked with Booking.com. I don’t understand why - I’m still staying at your hotel when I could have chosen another hotel.
