Overall I thought my stay was very comforting. The room was clean and comfortable. Coffee was a bit cold but breakfast was good. The condition of the hotel seems to have gone down since I last stayed here. Both the room felt outdated and the interior and exterior of the hotel seemed outdated and in rough shape. As in cracks/holes in the ceiling, the Lowe's drywalling still on walls.

Almost 5 stars

I would give 5 stars but the bathroom was unsatisfactory. The bathroom fan did not work, the lighting was very poor, the water backed up when showering and the grout and tub appeared dirty. Customer.service 5 stars. The staff was excellent. Overall appearance good. Kids loved the pool and hot tub.

Location is great and staff is very helpful. Condition of the property could be better. The rooms are good along with the dining area, but the pool and back patio need some TLC. We've stayed multiple times and over all, have always had a good experience.

Friendly staff, but "tired" facility

Staff were very friendly! Exceptional! Loved the young lady who checked us in at night and also the young lady who worked in the breakfast area the next day. Both were so nice and friendly. The property itself is very "tired" and so was the room. The two pots of dead flowers in the front were an indicator of the state of the rooms inside. They were clean though!

The rooms were clean, the beds were comfortable. It was pretty quiet. The air conditioner sucked. It didn't work, so I went to Walmart to buy a fan. Which then made the next night much better. They have hot breakfast. Which was good. The staff who worked the breakfast area were nice. The pool was nice, it was a little cold, but it was warm in the pool area. The hot tub was nice the first day but felt lukewarm on the second. There is a good amount of food choices in the area.

Room review

Hotel was fine, we really like Holiday Inns. Cleanliness was ok, little dirty or lacked that fresh feeling. Only 2 sets of towels, yes it was 2 ppl, but an extra would have been nice. The overall cleanliness of basics…bed, trash etc was great.
