Great location for our stay

The front desk staff was always very friendly and helpful. The overall cleanliness around the hotel was great however the room itself could have been cleaned better especially the shower. The housekeeping situation throughout our entire 4 day stay was super frustrating too!! The first day there they woke us trying to come in just a few minutes after 8am then the next day they never even came by the 3rd day they came in and only took the towels and left new towels. Then the 4th day (day of check out) even with the do not disturb on they tried coming in a few minutes after 8am again. Breakfast was good but not as great as we've come to expect from Holiday Inn again just seems to be depending on staff working that day.

It was a little pricey for that type of property. I would say it should’ve been 1/3 the price for that place! Plus they overcharged my card by $50 of what I was quoted. The front desk guy was not a friendly person, he didn’t even tell me which direction the room/elevators were. I hope they give me my refund!
