Overall great stay. Hotel is clean and inviting. The room was good, clean and exactly what you would expect. Pool was heated, small but nice. The breakfast was very nice for a Holiday Day INN. Best I have ever had and I've stayed at a lot of places. Oh and the game room with the TVs and Xboxs great for the kids

There was a big group of teenagers spread amongst the floors, the noise level was out of control and nothing was done about it. At least put the group on one floor to control the noise. Poor scheduling. Minor details make or break it. Absolutely no sleep
