"i will take easiest first -- Parking was plentiful
Breakfast was the average but nice to have -- they are not fully ready for 6am -- if you are on a time frame and counted on breakfast for 6am -- sadly you will be disappointed.
the staff was very friendly and helpful except for the breakfast staff - she was rude and not pleasant. Front Desk was always pleasant and helpful, always smiled.
Room cleanliness has some work to be done -- it made me chuckle I was there for 3 nights -- the first morning...
"The room was updated and spacious. The bed was comfortable and the shower was gorgeous. However, there wasn't much water pressure and the room was dusty. The bedding was stained, but I was able to get clean linen quickly and a wash cloth to clean up room. Great a/c. In a good location."
"The room was super clean, stylish, but somewhat austere. The bed was fantastic, and my back was happy for the couple days I visited.
Translucent privacy curtains would be a nice addition instead of just the blackout blinds. Young man at desk seemed bothered to have to do my check in, and mumbled quietly through the whole interaction.
Overall, I’d stay again."
"Motel was easy access and someone was available to tell of major concerns. However, the problems were abundant
No running water in the bathroom faucet
Carpets were filthy. Amenities were empty
Moved to another room. Same problems. No faucet water and dirty carpet
No towels one day and room was not cleaned
Coffee available for 2 days, then the pot disappeared
Bathrooms in Lobby out of order.
This Holiday Inn was terrible!!"
