Won’t return
Cleanliness has declined drastically since last year when I stayed here for the first time. Will not return, bathroom looked clean at a glance, but it was not. Hotel is too newly remodeled to already have since build up in the corners and behind things like the sinks faucet. Grout on tile filthy.

I liked the location. I didn't really care for our room. We were in the handicapped accessible room which was right next to the lobby. The heating/cooling unit left the floor damp which might explain the strange smell we noticed when we got to our room.

I did not get the room I reserved. The staff was dressed unprofessionally. One guys hair was out of control. The water pressure and temperature control was terrible. You can tell it had been Jerry rigged buy some hobby plumber. Holiday Inn should revoke their franchise for this place or completely overhaul it.
