- WCWayne CrowderDec 8, 20255.0Very nice great location
- PMPatrick MurphyNov 18, 20251.0My mattress was so bad I had to sleep on the couch. One side of the bed was so worn out you could feel the springs. My girlfriend’s side wasn’t as bad but still not good. I told them and they said sorry you booked through a third party you need to contact them. Maybe that’s why I got that room because I didn’t book through them so they gave me the worst room they had.
- MRMichael RuckerNov 11, 20255.0We have used this HIE numerous times as it very convenient on I84
- SPSimon ProdingerNov 4, 20255.0Very nice hotel.
- SNSuzanna NybergNov 3, 20251.0This Holiday Inn provides a bed, electricity, and bugs. They came scurrying from a hole in the bathtub when I entered the room at night. The elevator is slow. Don't use it. The general manager, Melissa Luukko, might charge you to let you out. Be prepared to waste your time running down amenities. Skip the breakfast. You might vomit, like I did. In fact, go to the Public House, right down the road. It costs less and is much nicer. P.S. Melissa Luukko, the general manager, is whining that my review is not current. Melissa, My review is within three months, so it's current. And, Melissa, if management hasn't changed, then nothing has changed. You are still there, responding to all the complaints. Get a toaster that TOASTS the bread, not just warms it. Have you fixed the pool?
