Stay somewhere (anywhere) else
Pros:

Keep driving. Hopeless front desk staff, subpar and grimy facilities, lots of road noise (which is probably more soothing than the screaming air conditioning systems in the rooms) and misrepresentations about amenities. When I talked with the front desk, the response was “we don’t make you pay extra for that” to which I responded that when I book based on the facility listings and those are materially inaccurate, it’s not quite accurate to state I’m not paying for those amenities ( because I would have gone somewhere else if the listing was accurate). I guess I should be thankful that the beds had pillows and sheets because those weren’t listed as an extra charge so I guess they weren’t really obligated to provide them based on their logic. In a nutshell, if this were the only place to stay, I would confidently select sleeping in my car and know I made the right choice with respect to how I spend my hard earned money.

Don't waste your time
Pros:

The pool is closed for renovations during the summer. There was no prior warning when booking direct on the Holiday Inn website. We booked 2 nights very sad little boys.
