Normally I would have asked to switch rooms, but after working 15 hours and only having 7 hours to rest and go back to work I just dealt with it. But once those elevator doors opened to the third floor it was nasty. I didn’t understand why the hallway was so hot and had nasty odors coming from eacb room like there could be a dead body in one until I got to my room. The entire third floor just creeped me out. The air conditioner was on its lowest at 60 degrees but the room stayed at 78 and my sleep number is usually 68. The carpet by the AC was soaked and has a mildew smell to it. I figured all the rooms had this problem and the hotel didn’t know how to handle it. I travel a lot and the free soap and such is the cheapest they can provide in the hotel business. The breakfast was just sad so I went towards the oatmeal as a saving grace, but it was wayyy too runny. The front desk was delightful though!

The property is clean and has a fresh look. Although, there is no room available for early check in (we had a red eye flight) checking in is fast and easy. Our room is clean and tidy however the bathroom lights is not working. Breakfast is very good and yummy. Parking is spacious.

The staff was nice and the room was relatively clean after I had to exchange rooms because my original room did not have AC. It’s too hot not to have that working

The check in people was very helpful and they describe everything good, but the hallways was so hot, the elevator too, the room feels like humidity and the ac i think doesn’t work, the internet was horrible, I have been in another’s Holiday Inn Hotels and i didn’t have that kind of problems.

It was good for a 1 day stay
Everything was good except that when I try to check in. There was no one at the front desk & there was 1 customer ahead of me. I had to wait like 20-30 minutes while I was calling the general manager’s # but not pick up. I even try to call the office # & I hear it ringing from the room next door behind the front desk but no one was in the room as well
