never stayed refused my pay and won’t reissue my funds
Pros:

0/10 don’t recommend

Cons:

!! LOCATION IS STEALING MONEY !!
On 02/14 I went in to pay at this location for my online booking a caucasion lady short white/grey hair stated that they don’t really accept in-town residents they really deal with out of town people coming in town , I then let her know that’s the first I’ve ever had to deal with that from any hotel and asked if I had to go about booking elsewhere she then stated she would have to get further clarification from her manager .. I haven’t received a call nor did anyone answer my call when i attempted to call for confirmation in regards to the stay i genuinely was interested in buying the room and intended on the services but I took my services elsewhere , on 02/16 i received a charge to my account that’s never been over drafted before for 160.15 which brought my account to a negative I’ve called the hotel and they stated since I’ve booked with booking.com i had to contact them so I did and as I’m going about initiating a refund booking.com sent and email to this location and called the location while i was on the phone , Holiday Inn location did not answer for the booking.com company booking.com company stated i would have to get the proper confirmation from the location but this location has yet been able to help me .. on 02\17 my mom contacted the manager and the manager stated the reason why my payment was not accepted when i walked into the hotel was due to an issue with my ID and i was trying to pay too early ..

Hotel is not as it advertises and we flund old food left in our room
Pros:

Staff was friendly

Cons:

It’s not a good location. We booked it bc it was close to the zoo and wanted a place with a pool. This hotel advertised exactly that! When we arrived they told us they no longer had a pool. The bathroom had hair swept up into the corner and most disgustingly there was a half eaten pop tart in the Chester drawers in the room!! I booked through booking.com, reached out to them but have yet to hear back .

Pros:

This hotel could use some upgrades and the bathroom had a mildew smell which ultimately caused the room to smell odd.

Pros:

When I arrived at 9 pm 2 ppl had been killed behind the hotel. There were ppl hanging out in the parking lot all night. It was like a club parking lot. I stayed up all night and left as soonas it was daylight.
