The Stay was Alright.

There’s construction in the entrance area (limited parking). As you walk towards the entrance it does look dirty. The room was clean, but restroom needs a bit of fixing/cleanliness. The treadmills in the gym make a lot of noise and only one works. When you walk into the hallway, it does have a weird smell. Overall, customer service was excellent and we were able to sleep peacefully. It’s a block away from the Toyota Center, which was great!

The only complaint I really have is that the hotel has been undergoing renovations for a long time. There was limited access to the lobby because of construction. Also, when I made my online reservation, I asked for two double beds and when we got to the room, it was a king size room. I went back downstairs and they corrected it. And not sure if it’s intentional or not, but the pool has warm water and the hot tub has cold water. Otherwise, everyone we encountered were all very friendly and helpful. Breakfast area was also clean and nicely stocked with many goodies!

The property is under major renovations. That being said, the renovation quality is more like"landlord special" the floors are uneven, tiles are loose and popping out, and everything has the thick layer or paint in an attempt to hide cracks and chips underneath. The ceilings are low cracked, and look like they are buckling under the weight of something unseen above. The air is stagnant and smells of chlorine and disinfectant. The staff was great, but conditions of the hotel are the worst.

I was very disappointed with my recent stay at this hotel. The room was clearly outdated and had a persistent musty smell that made it uncomfortable from the start. The walls were in need of fresh paint, and the curtain rod was broken, with noticeable stains on the curtains themselves. The bathroom was also in poor condition. There was excessive caulking around fixtures, seemingly used to cover up old, deteriorated caulking rather than make proper repairs. Overall, it felt like a quick fix rather than a maintained space. The biggest issue was the bed. It was very uncomfortable, with a noticeable lump running down the center of the mattress. It’s clear that the mattress is overdue for replacement. I expected much better from a Holiday Inn & Suites in a downtown location. Unfortunately, based on this experience, I would not recommend this hotel to others.

Worst hotel I've ever visited

I chose this hotel because of the pictures on the website and the amenities. However, it looked nothing like what was on the website. Everything was looking bad from the time we pulled up. We had to enter the building by going around a big industrial trashcan. When we walked in the lobby the furniture was dirty. You should not see filth when you first walk in. First impressions are lasting impressions. I tried to give it the benefit of the doubt because it looked like renovations were being done but when I went upstairs it looked more like a motel than a hotel. The room had a horrible smell like mildew. The light on the left side kept going off like it had a shortage. The room and bathroom were falling apart and should not have been offered for anyone to stay in. The jacuzzi and pool looked like there had been no maintenance. Whoever the owner is should really take notes if there are numerous people with the same complaints and make the proper corrections sooner than later. If not, they should only put people in the rooms that have already been renovated because these conditions are hazardous to one's health. There was one positive thing. The breakfast was good. Thank you breakfast staff!

Great space, amenities were up to our expectations and we enjoyed our stay. Only two things weren't very great: one, being the windows and how loud the outside noises come through. Second, the people who stayed in the room before us, pulled a "Ross" on the standing lamps.
