Hotel is old. Rooms smell, our air never would come on. The sheets are old and are very worn, they need to be replaced. Chipped paint everywhere, and mold growing in shower. Went down for breakfast at 7:02am and the lights were still off in breakfast area. I'd skip this hotel for the next exit if I were you.

Made a reservation, cancelled it 2 weeks prior to a different holiday inn location that was closer to where I needed to be. Spent 400 dollars for the weekend, and then sadly was charged for the original hotel room because they never cancelled it! So I called and wrote letters. Didn’t get anywhere. Andrew Kovacs the General manager was so rude and disrespectful. I disputed the charges with my bank just to get a letter now from the bank with all the documents saying I’m banned, for vulgar language etc….. I have to laugh because not only is he a liar as I have emails to prove it… but I also have documentation that he sent to the bank that I was smoking in the room, well first off I didn’t stay there, and second it has another guests name and personal information on it…so he lied again !! I will def reach out to this individual to let him know! Shame on you Andrew!!
