The person at the reception desk was outstanding! So accommodating, professional and friendly. We could tell that the hospitality industry was the right choice for her! I wish I could remember her name.
Allie, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

Stains on the pillow cover. Stains all over the floor. Toilet was running when we walked in and when I flushed the toilet the smell got worse. Moved us to another room and the ac wouldn’t work and the room was still dirty.
Michael, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Overall we had a very nice stay. The hot tub could use an update, which in all fairness, might be part of their ongoing renovations. The continental breakfast was great. The staff was very friendly. I'd definitely stay there again.
Debra, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Great stay! Staff was super friendly and they were very accommodating. We were able to make room changes that fit our needs. The room was clean and in a quieter area. We would definitely stay again if in the area.

2/10 Poor

Worst experience at a Hotel I never stayed at

Well I went in to ask about ethernet, I was told I couldnt use it in the lobby but needed to get a room. Which I was told I couldnt they were full. I then told desk clerk I was able to book it on hotels.com , he scarffed snarffed and snarled - was so rude to me. I went to the room and NO ETHERNET - I came out immediately almost in tears saying I had to leave there is no ethernet. Desk clerk was EVEN RUDER refusing to refund me do to a communication error. I called to complain and they called again on monday Aug 4th to only get denied the refund so rudely.

Room review

Hotel was fine, we really like Holiday Inns. Cleanliness was ok, little dirty or lacked that fresh feeling. Only 2 sets of towels, yes it was 2 ppl, but an extra would have been nice. The overall cleanliness of basics…bed, trash etc was great.
Christine, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Almost 5 stars

I would give 5 stars but the bathroom was unsatisfactory. The bathroom fan did not work, the lighting was very poor, the water backed up when showering and the grout and tub appeared dirty. Customer.service 5 stars. The staff was excellent. Overall appearance good. Kids loved the pool and hot tub.
Faith, 1-night trip

I always like a wall safe to store my computer….

8/10 Very good

Property needs updating. Breakfast was OK. Orange juice is watered down. Nice, large, old style pool.
Marcille, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Everything went smoothly and was comfortable. There was a problem with the AC in the common areas but otherwise fine.
Robert, 3-night trip

6/10 Good

Location perfect for why we were in town but the room was not cleaned appropriately When you find cob webs, dust peeling paint and hair on the counters and in the shower it makes you wonder how well it was really cleaned!!😳
Susan, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

Expedia didn’t tell me until after I made my reservation that the bar & restaurant were permanently closed & the hot tub was out of order. There
