The ice machine on the second floor needs to be cleaned. It is unappetizing to use in its current condition. The carpet in the room needs to be cleaned. The shower floor should be reconditioned. There was an end table in the room that had to be replaced because the moldings on the edge was falling off.

This is a very old building and feels more like a motel. Not what you would expect from Holiday Inn. Not worth the price but still ok because it’s located at a convenient location. Room was very small with minimal ventilation. Service was meh. It’s time for them to upgrade. We stayed for two nights and it wasn’t terrible but we expected more from a Holiday Inn chain of hotels.
