    I want to start with the staff was great. Other than that this is the worst holiday inn I’ve never stayed in. Beds were horrible, sheets were the wrong size. Hospitality is horrible as they charge for breakfast and coffee cups fit maybe a shot of coffee. This hotel is more of a quality inn type of stay and doesn’t deserve to be called a holiday inn.

    The hotel here is less than impressive. It should really be 2.5 stars but google only allows round numbers so rounded it up to 3. Anyway…I recently stayed here when in town for training. First of all the location is great, really convenient and with in 10-15 mins of most anything in the area. The staff was ok, not super friendly and seemed more preoccupied with their phones. I paid for breakfast 1 morning and waiting by the desk for someone to seat me for about 5 mins before I gave up and helped myself. The breakfast was like anything you get at a holiday inn express, but you have to pay for it. The rooms haven’t been updated in a longtime and I’m pretty sure they got cheapest fixtures imaginable. The water wouldn’t shut off all the way in the shower, the bed was hard and uncomfortable, and everything was installed crooked in the room. The elevator was mostly working, I opted for the stairs after the elevator doors only opened partially when exiting on my floor. I told the staff about it and they didn’t seem too concerned or know where the inspection certificate was. I also pretty sure there were people/family/friends of the staff living on the second floor. In the end it seemed like a safe, cheap place to stay, but I’d look elsewhere next time.
