Awesome time! We love staying at Holiday Inns. But this day was amazing! My fiancé and I had a late Valentine’s Day celebration and this hotel made sure that our room was magnificent. Our king Jacuzzi suite had a separate room just for the Jacuzzi. It was truly amazing and as always, the staff at this location is extremely diligent. Jennifer checked us in and she has waited on me a couple of times since I’ve been a member here, and I absolutely adore the fact that she remembers me and greets me with such hospitality. As always, we will be back

Fantastic breakfast.
I travel for work and sometimes stop at other hotels to see what their breakfast is like, so i can't comment on the room, but those are probably good too

Overall, it was an okay place to stay. Check in was excellent. Very simple, fast and friendly. First, room was on main floor next to lobby and house keeping. No view at all. Room had food garbage left over from guests before us. Pool was green and had food in it. I had notified front desk but the food remained. Also, felt rushed to get out in morning by house keeping. They stated they thought we checked out, in fact had not yet and was not even close to check out time. Breakfast was fine and as expected from Holiday Inn. Location for us was excellent. Overall, will stay again but hoping the Overall experience next time changes. The cleanliness of Room and state of pool was extremely disappointing.
