The facility is in serious state of disrepair. The staff were nice, but could not overcome the management's failure to spend maintenance funds. There was a floor radiating heating unit in the stairway with the cover missing and the sharp metal fins exposed, a very serious safety hazard. It reminded me of a building that is slated for demolition, so no money being spent for maintenance.

No Hot Water = No Compensation = Not Cool

They were having an issue with their hot water system so there was only hot water occasionally. I took 3 very tepid showers over our 6 day stay and Hotels.com is doing nothing about it. I get that issues happen but you compensate for those things. It's part of the cost of doing business. So I will no longer be doing business with Hotels.com or staying at this Holiday Inn.

Servicing room

Only issue was no one bothered to service our room until day 4 out of five. At that point we were resting and said no thanks even though it needed servicing. Breakfast was delicious every morning and very well stocked.

Terrible stay.

When i was first given a room key #229, the room was not vacant. Quite upsetting to walk in on someone in their hitel room. Then, no hot water. As i checked out i informed the desk clerk that i didn't have any hot water in my room. She said the entire building didn't have hot water, there was a boiler issue.

Room Great, Everything Else Bad

The room itself was fine. It was everything else that was bad. There was no one at the front desk when I arrived and I had to wait around. Finally the person in the back heard another guest arrive who had already checked in and was just passing through the lobby. No never saw a front desk person during my entire overnight stay including when I checked out. I just left my key on the front desk. The breakfast was terrible, especially after getting my hopes up based on the labels on the wall of eggs, bacon and sausage. What I ACTUALLY got was corn beef hash, soggy fried potates, something that looked like chuckwagon (breaded) sausage patty, and what tasted like powdered eggs. It's possible that latter were real, but I just had really nice scambled eggs at a competitor hotel the day before which were much better. The cinnamon rolls were as dry as hard tack. The ironic thing is there was a "mother hen" personality supervising the breakfast and I suspect she thought everything was wonderful because it was "her breakfast." If I hadn't found the small fridge in one corner of the breakfast area because another guest was getting things out of it, I would have starved. There were hard bioled eggs and cream cheese for the bagels in there. I got some coffee from the lobby when I checked in and had to take it to my room to heat it up in the microwave.

The room was dirty. They did mop the floor as we did not have carpet and was sticky when walking. One wall had been washed in certain areas. I think someone had a big party in the room and it wasn't clean properly.
