Listen, it’s just a simple 3 Stars hotel as the name carries its reputation and class. I just don’t get how people give beyond or expect more?

The location is fantastic. The hotel was safe and the rooms seem to have been recently updated. There is a restaurant on site for lunch and dinner.
I respect Holiday Inn for always offering pet friendly rooms. At this location one reserves a "pet friendly, ground floor" room. However, the walk-outs on all ground floor rooms are sealed shut and one has to take the elevator or stairs to the first floor to enter or leave the hotel. Not ideal for a pet owner expecting a walk in/walk out. During my stay, the pet friendly floor was shared with a lot of long stay families and the kids used the hall as a playground. It was noisy during the days and evenings. Yes, I could have changed floors. Overall my experience was okay. Attached is a pic of my room after I stayed in it. Housekeeping was very good.

Staying here for one night with my wife and two kids. Got kids ready to go to pool and water slide . When got to pool slide was shut down. Main reason we book this hotel was because of the water slide for kids. Be nice if you remind people the hours of operation of the water slide . If I had known I would have book another hotel with slide in operation. Thanks.
