Room issues: hard beds, poor shower drainage, some areas outdated or dingy
Perceived poor value for high nightly cost

Categories

Cleanliness
6
Mixed reports: several guests praised clean rooms and housekeeping, but multiple complaints about dirty-looking towels and a reported dead bed bug lowered overall cleanliness sentiment.
Service
8.8
Mostly positive front-desk and housekeeping interactions (described as nice, helpful, sweet), though there are serious isolated failures (misplaced/removed belongings, poor refund/management response) that marred some stays.
Location
9
Consistently praised: great location, close to restaurants and I-65, safe area and convenient for events like graduation with minimal road noise.
Room Quality
6.5
Mixed room quality: some rooms described as clean, spacious and well maintained, but issues reported include hard/new beds that are uncomfortable, poor shower drainage, and an overall somewhat dated/run-down feel in places.
Amenities
6.5
Amenity problems noted: pool was unavailable or reported extremely salty/cloudy, hotel under construction at times causing disruption; breakfast service (separate category) was generally strong.
Value for Money
6
Several guests felt the property did not match the nightly cost (mentions of up to $450) given outdated/dingy areas and the issues experienced, reducing perceived value.
Food and Beverage
9.5
Breakfast repeatedly called out as excellent: large selection, hot and clean service; this is a clear strength across many reviews.
Overall Experience
8.5
Many guests reported very good stays with helpful staff and great breakfast, but a few severe negative incidents (loss of belongings, refund issues, bed bug report) result in an overall positive-but-not-excellent experience.

Worst stay at a hotel i have had
Pros:

Breakfast was okay, room was a good size

Cons:

The absolute worst experience I have ever had at a hotel.
While we were staying at the hotel, staff saw me leaving with some of my belongings, fully dressed for graduation, and assumed that we had checked out. We had not checked out, and our room keys were still active.
We had intentionally left many of our belongings in the room because we planned to return, change, and relax before making the long trip home. Instead, we returned to find that our belongings had been thrown into a trash bag and our food had been thrown away.
What makes this even more frustrating is that no one contacted us or confirmed that we had actually checked out before removing our belongings from the room.
The staff member present at the time offered a full compensation for our stay, which seemed like a reasonable acknowledgment of how serious the situation was. However, the general manager later countered that offer with a disrespectful $25 compensation.
This was an unacceptable experience from start to finish. Mistakes happen, but the way this situation was handled, especially the response from management afterward, was extremely disappointing. I would not recommend staying here.

Pros:

Location, friendly staff and excellent breakfast!

Cons:

the overall appearance was outdated , a bit run down feel and dingy feel. For the nighly cost per night( up to $450) and it being a Holiday inn I was a bit disappointed by that.

Bedbugs
Pros:

Breakfast

Cons:

Mattress had a dead bed bug. We didn't notice until we were packing up leaving out. Showed it to the housekeeping and front desk rep but they did not do anything about it.

Overall great stay.
Pros:

Room was clean, spacious and well maintained. Staff was pleasant and helpful. Breakfast was one of the best ones we’ve run into.

Cons:

Pool was unavailable until 6 pm on the day of our arrival and since we weren’t staying long this time we couldn’t use it at all. It was a hot day and it would have been so nice to cool off in the pool.
