Pros:

House keeping was scarce, first night I checked in I had no wash clothes,3rd night they had failed to clean or tend to the room. There’s mold growing in the shower, the furniture was peeling from being painted, my ice bucket had white paint on it. The lobby has fridges that appear to be in a disarray with frozen food options. The staff was helpful, but the establishment did not appear to be operating at a Holiday Inn standard.

Pros:

The room had a musty order when we walked in. The bathroom was not so clean. Poor tub and broken soap holder. They should do a better job with cleanliness and maintenance for the price we paid for a one night stay

The hotel was clean but a little worn. Breakfast was good and the breakfast area was spacious. It was very convenient to my family. The room was comfortable and had all i needed. I have stayed here before and would stay here again.
