Don’t stay there
Well, for the money I paid I’m requiring a refund. It was nasty horrible part of the leak in the ceiling in the bathroom. They knew all this and it was very unhealthy for my grandchildren. I had no money to go anywhere else and that was a lot of money to pay and I expect compensation ASAP from Hotels.com I have been bragging on y’all because if we’ve had problems in your past, always made sure it was fixed and returned to me so I’m not very happy camper and I do not wanna give you. This was disgustingly, horrible, and unsafe animals that were frequently coming around.

There was nothing I liked. Shower didn't work, unsafe area, room was not cleaned well, room had a terrible smell. Front desk guy looked like he had just worked outside all day. Granted the price was cheap, should have been cheaper. Would NOT RECOMMEND

I can’t complain really given what I paid for but just be prepared and don’t go in expecting holiday inn accommodations this is an old and dated property. Would I book again at the price point absolutely because I am cheap!
