Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities
Rooms smelled musty need updating. The phone in the room was not working, and there was a loud party in the lobby that prevented us from napping. We had a long drive to get there and the booming bass from the music at the party kept us from resting. I called the front desk and was told that the party would end in a few hours, so it wouldn't keep us up all night. The answer should have been we will adjust the volume of the music. This is a Holiday Inn in a supposed quiet area - not a place one would expect to hear booming bass from a loud party on the first floor. The front desk staff was nice and friendly. The breakfast was ok - there was a good variety of options. The coffee was available in the lobby 24/7 and was good - fully stocked condiments for coffee too.
