Pros:

I booked a room for Sep 27-28 2025. I arrived at 6:30 PM that day and was informed there was no room for me. The receptionist told me they tried to call me earlier in the day. However, I was competing in a local tournament and could not answer my phone. The fact that Holiday Inn realized they over booked at such a late date is very inconvenient for any traveler.

Pros:

New person at check in desk. Had to keep calling FD manager with every check in. With my background in hotel management, someone so inexperienced should not have been on shift alone even though FD manager was a ailable by phone and lived only 3 minutes away

Pros:

Clean & neat. Front desk staff could be more friendly/helpful, but were still ok. Shower water didn't get very warm (3rd floor). Room wasn't tidied up/cleaned (2 night stay). Breakfast staff was AMAZING! Would stay here again.
