Affordable and effortless.
Pros:

The staff were quick to check me in and out. The room was easy to find. The room was solid overall.

Cons:

The window curtains were see thru directly showing a shopping center straight ahead. It would have been nice to have the option to shut the curtains with blackout curtains.

Extremely TIRED UNABLE TO REST
Pros:

Location

Cons:

That they refused to do anything about the room above us with kids, literally jumping and stomping on the floor. The whole night and morning was unable to get any sleep was very rude and disrespectful. Will never stay there again.

I would stay again.
Pros:

Breakfast was excellent and my family enjoyed this. We looked forward to breakfast. I enjoyed the pool and hot tub area for the kids. I enjoyed the room as well and the amenities.

Cons:

I wish there was more area for a family of 4 to eat breakfast. I wish guest would not drink alcohol in this area by the pool/hot tub. It is very steamy in this area.

Not a good Holiday inn location.
Pros:

Property had a decent location and the pool and hot tub was nice.

Cons:

The breakfast was terrible. The juices were watered down, and the kitchen staff was unhelpful. Our room was right above the breakfast area, so every morning starting at 6:30, we heard every little noise. The chairs made horrible scratching noises.

Our bathtub wouldn’t drain well, and the Dove soap provided by the hotel smelled really bad. I don’t think it was actually Dove brand. The sofa bed was awful.

Above-average hotel. Good price, nice stay.
Pros:

Fitness center was nice. Pool had hot tub - that's rare! Overall nice atmosphere, especially for the price. Cleaner than most hotels I've stayed at.

Cons:

Breakfast items. Sausage was very salty and overcooked. I didn't try anything else. Would love you to add a water cooler in the lobby for guests to fill bottles. If there was one, I missed it.
