    I have stayed here in the past and I appreciate the clean rooms and friendly service. There are occasionally really loud people late at night and the walls are thin, but I understand because of the events they host. What I cannot believe is the fact that I woke up Sunday morning with a $8 dollar parking fee. When I asked the front desk I was informed this is their new standard practice. How do you know I didn't park across the street? How do you know I didn't get an uber there? You are blindly charging your customers to park in your own parking lot, ARE YOU INSANE!?!?

    Stayed here for the location. We usually stay at the other Holiday Inn down the street which is much nicer. Shower didn't drain. Very outdated and not super clean. Breakfast was not good. Went to get a late night drink and something to eat and alls they had was some overpriced, bland nachos. Would not stay here again.

    One of the greatest stays I’ve had in a while, you can tell the team really cares about the experience and it starts with that new GM they have there.

    Absolutely disgusting mold growing in every curve of the bathroom. The room was musty and had to be aired out before sleeping in it. No free breakfast, no mini fridge in the room! Would never stay here again. It’s the equivalent to a $60 motel! Not even fully cleaned .

    Starting around 9pm they had someone announcing and blasting music over a loudspeaker in the lobby to their group. We were on the fifth floor and it was literally echoing it was so loud. When we asked at the front desk they said the manager said the group was allowed to keep going until 10pm. I would recommend any other hotel in this town
