I only went to a hotel for the pool, however the pool was Alaska cold.

The hot tub was broken with no mention of it anywhere except the door of the pool, which was a main reason we chose this location. The actual pool was dirty with trash on the floor of the room. Breakfast was good but we were met with rude staff when we tried to have breakfast 10 minutes after 10am. They allowed us to eat but were not friendly. Overall not what I would expect from Holiday Inn brands which are normally my favorite.

Perfectly fine but there were a number of issues that drop my rating. The indoor pool area was closed but no mention of it when making our reservation. The other Hampton in the area had a notice about their hot tub being out of service, which tipped the scales to this location. No towels in the weight room. Waffle maker was not working and we were there for 4 days. Breakfast is supposed to go to 10 am but many items removed early or not replinished. Just not up to the quality I expect from Hilton or the Hampton Inn brand. Good location near a good restaurant and stores.

I stayed here for 2 nights and the only reason I chose this hotel was due to the reviews… I was surprised at how outdated the room was, not to mention the foul smell, maybe from the old carpet, or the old curtains… an “old house” musty smell.
