"The rooms were clean and the staff were good. The ac did not work and the ceiling was dripping in the ceiling (it was raining pretty hard outside). The pool is pretty small and in a basement. Not very inviting!"

"Clean rooms, staff is great. The only downfall is no breakfast. There was buffet brunch for $38/plate that starts at 10am. A little pricey to feed a family. Ricky’s is directly across the street from hotel in the Holiday inn."
