I stayed at the McAlester Holiday Inn twice on this trip and won't do so ever again. Each time, I had to ask for a different room. The first room had a bathtub with black mold, obviously not cleaned recently. On the second stop, the first room had a running toilet. In both cases, the second room was OK, but nothing more. The desk staff was very helpful and friendly, and the breakfast is better than usual, especially the little pancakes. The location is OK, with easy access to a gas station and a Braum's ice cream store (good hamburgers!).
