I was taken back by this hotel 100%. I never leave negative reviews, but this place was unacceptable. The Holiday Inn hotels have always been a go to for me whenever I am traveling. But from the moment we walked in, it was clear that cleanliness was not a priority. Even the outside windows looked like they haven't been cleaned in ages. I didn't recognize the hotel I booked online, because the pictures Expedia posted were so misleading. This did not look anything like it! The room smelled old and musty, and there were visible stains on the carpet and bed linens. Housekeeping clearly didn't do a thorough job. We even found pubic hairs on the bed linens. I asked to have another room, but it was full for the night. I then asked if the bedding could be changed, and only the sheets were. There were still long hairs stuck on the duvets...I couldn't! We checked out that same hour we checked in (But the receptionist forgot to check us out, and said we spent the night there which we didn't). We booked for 2 nights in total. But it was evident we could not stay here. We ended up booking at the other Holiday Inn, the Holiday Inn Express 6 minutes away. And yes, that is what a Holiday Inn should look like! I'm not sure how this hotel got 10/10 reviews, because I can tell you first hand it is not! I wish I could have taken pictures of the room we had, but I was so disgusted by everything. This place needs serious upgrades and attention. Avoid if you care about basic cleanliness!

Extremely frustrated and disappointed in this hotel. Check-in went smoothly but woken up at 1:40 a.m. by someone opening our door. Security arrived and we were told their system registered our room as unoccupied. The room had been prepaid and had no issues at registration. Very upsetting and extremely inconvenient.

Place was great. Unit looked nice and was clean. Our unit was on a lower level which was a little inconvenient but that’s mainly because we had a lot of stuff and this was our last stop of our 2 week trip. The complimentary breakfast is provided on site at the east side Mario’s which makes it super convenient.
