Easy to park, easy to check in. We requested a roll-in bed and they delivered on time. Clean room, bathroom has a shower stall and a bathtub. A popular Italian restaurant was just steps away from the front desk area. Free breakfast was good. Location was close to highways, grocery stores, department stores, but the hotel area was quiet.

This property is in an area where there are a lot of bears. Rather than spend money on trash cans that bears can not get into, they have regular old garbage cans that bears can get into. Every single night, every single trash can gets knocked over and pilfered through by bears. Have you ever been confronted by a large bear when coming back to your room at night? It's not fun at all and very dangerous. Why this property refuses to only allow bear proof trash cans like other local businesses is beyond me. Additionally, the wifi is slow and has a very weak signal. This too could easily be fixed with money but they choose not to do anything about it just like their bear issue with the trash cans.

I always choose Holiday Inn when im on vacation. But unfortunately this time i was extremely disappointed. The location was close to all our ventures for my sons soccer tournament. But our room had mold then they moved us to another room with one bed whixh was very disappointing because they didnt have anyting available. When we wanted a refund it was refused and was reluctantly given another room. While in this new room not only did out keys constantly stop working buy at night time a couple came into our room while we were in bed. The ventilation in the rooms is poor. The carpet is very dirty can't walk barefoot would not stay there again.
