Categories

Cleanliness
7.8
Multiple reviewers called rooms 'clean' and 'comfortable', though one mention of a dirty shower and a slightly unpleasant-smelling hallway tempers the otherwise positive cleanliness comments.
Service
6.4
Mixed service reports: polite and professional front-desk staff and smooth check-in/out in some stays, but notable failures (missed airport pickup for one guest, missed wake-up knock, front desk inattentive while on phone) reduce the score.
Location
7.5
Location was described as 'fine' and acceptable by guests; no major location complaints were raised.
Room Quality
6.8
Rooms were often described as comfortable with acceptable beds, but issues included wrong bed type given against reservation, missing cups/water, and occasional cleanliness problems that lowered room-quality sentiment.
Amenities
6.9
Breakfast received praise, and airport pickup was available for some guests, but the pool was reported out of service and several guests noted missing in-room items (no towels, no hangers, no cup) and inconsistent amenities.
Value for Money
7.2
Standard quality for this hotel tier.
Food and Beverage
7.8
Breakfast was called 'great' and 'nice' by multiple reviewers, though one guest noted only a single coffee pod without a cup; overall F&B sentiment is positive.
Overall Experience
7.2
Mixed overall experience: several guests praised cleanliness, comfort, breakfast, and smooth check-in, while others experienced sleep-disrupting noise, service failures, and amenity shortcomings.

If I stay there again I will ask for an upper floor room at the end of the hall.
Pros:

The room was clean and comfortable. The breakfast was great. The location is fine. The lady at the front desk was polite, friendly and professional. Checking in and out was smooth and fast.

Cons:

There was a loud bang sound at random times that woke me up every time I finally got back to sleep. It sounded like someone was dropping refrigerators off the roof from time to time. Maybe it was the door to the parking lot banging when it closed. My room was next to the exterior door. I didn't get to sleep soundly until just before the wakeup alarm on my phone went off. I had asked for a wakeup call, but my phone was dead and no one came to knock on my door as I had asked, because the phone was broken. I was also woken up a few times by loud conversations and laughing by people walking past my room. I maybe got 3 or 4 hours of restful sleep, which is what I value the most about a hotel stay.

Horrible and will not stay at this location ever again
Pros:

The water was very hot, the air conditioner worked very well, and washer and dryer was available on my floor

Cons:

It first started when I called the hotel to let them know that I was checking in very late around 4am due to a family emergency and that I was not getting on the highway until after 11pm the front desk clerk let me know that if I was not there by 3am I would not be able to check in due to the night audit closes at 3am. I had never heard of such especially if my reservation was from Friday to Sunday. She put me on hold to call her manager. After being on hold for 10 to 15 minutes she came back on the line to let me know that I can check in when I arrive I would just have to cancel my reservation and make a new reservation with the new time of check in due to me not paying in full or partial paid on the website and that I also did it through a third party. I was not happy with the situation but I took it due to not having anywhere to stay when I arrived. When I checked in and went to the room it was not the correct room, and the gentlemen at the front desk told me that that was the room that Booking.com had sent them but I had to stay I that room for the night and they could give me a different room the next day. I had to leave the hotel and drive 30 minutes away to a Airbnb that my daughter and her other team mate on the basketball team were staying at just so that they could get a good night sleep before the tournament. When I arrived back at the hotel my friend and I hurried up and took a shower and went to bed. The next morning my friend went to the main hotel in the next building to ask for more towels for our room (Mind you we only had 1 large towel and 2 small towels in the room when we checked in that night). The young lady at the desk was rude and told my friend that she had to ask housekeeping for more towels(how do we know who the house keeping staff were). After 10 minutes of waiting for towels we were able to take a shower and head over to the gym. I stay at Holiday INN a lot due to my daughter playing AAU Travel Ball and never had this issue.
