Hallways, showers and elevator lobbies were not maintained to other IHG property standards. The front desk staff were not familiar with the IHG loyalty program to add our member number at check in. Other than the main lobby area by the hotel entrance, the other common areas were void of accessories, furniture, or pictures. I would not recommend this hotel when there are other options within walking distance.

The hotel was not up to standard for holiday inn. Run down hotel with very little amenities. Holiday inn is known for their breakfast. The breakfast was very bare with hardly any items on it, ran out of cinnamon rolls by 7 am, the pancake machine was not working, there was no fruit in the empty fruit bowls. The staff didn’t care much about their guests. I would not recommend this hotel.
