Great hotel, poor location so close to interstate

Wonderful stay. A few positives were the cleanliness, modern look and wonderful breakfast. A few negatives were the black out curtains didn’t cover the entire window and the parking lot lights were bright and the interstate noise was loud.

Our room was pretty clean. Shower dripped so a little old looking. Bedding was comfortable. The pool was excellent. After 5 pm you could order drinks from the bar with a phone by the pool. The staff was incredible! Everyone included from the front desk staff, to the bar staff, and even the maintenance staff (which we just had a passerby conversation with). The food was incredible! The breakfast cost $5 a day and was well worth it!! We also ate dinner in the hotel lobby, and it was delicious! The location is the only con to this hotel. Not really close to downtown or within walking distance to any restaurants or attractions. Neighborhood seemed a little rundown. Due to the service and all the other positives, I would definitely stay here again!

Mehhhhhhh

It is an average hotel with comparitively above average pricing. The lobby of the building appears to have some updating but the rest of the hotel reads dated. The pool does not open until ten where many offer 8AM or even 6AM opening. The staff were all friendly and competent. So generally average to here but let's talk about breakfast. You have to pay an additional fee for breakfast - which we paid. Less expensive hotels offer similar and better breakfest incuded. The food was mediocre with what appeared to be real bacon the high point. Mediocre is the norm I believe in buffet hotel breakfast but the zinger here is they offer you a "check" with an opportunity to tip after you serve breakfast to yourself.

The fifth floor smelled like cat urine when we exited the elevator. When we got to our room, the door was ajar. I kept my boys outside and went in. Thankfully, no one was in the room. The door jam appeared to have been tampered with at some point. I needed to use the bathroom and noticed a very soiled towel hanging on the back of the door. I called the front desk. She was polite but not very responsive. She told me she couldn’t change my room because they were booked and, eventually, asked if I wanted her to come get the towel. Please!! She came up to get the towel and said she’d leave a message for the day shift manager. Didn’t bother to clean the back of the door or to check the rest of the room. Later, as we’re getting ready for bed, my oldest son found a dirty, plastic fork on the floor between the head of his bed and the nightstand. It was too late to change hotels as all others close by were booked. This experience definitely wasn’t up to the usual high standards we’ve experienced at IHG hotels over the years. So disappointed and definitely not worth $165 a night. Not surprisingly, I never heard from the manager.
