The staff at this hotel is, for the most part, terrific but there are a number of other issues I hope management addresses: 1) You have to fix the key situation. Chronically having to return to the desk for a new key because the magnets are not working is too much of a hassle. Word on the street is that it's not just an issue with my room. 2) You have to get a cellphone signal booster for the basement where you have conferences, the breakfast room, and other facilities. Guests spend a lot of time down there and they need cellular service 3) By all means, charge for the breakfast, but upgrade it from the usual free fare you get elsewhere. The 12 dollar breakfast cost deserves more than the premade frozen stuff you thaw out and put in warmers 4) the conference room needs selective dimmer switches so that people can see the screen and some kind of audio equipment to connect to a mic or the computer. In closing, I'm not trying to dissuade guests from this hotel. It's clear the management cares on many levels and the nearby restaurants are great as is the location, but if you believe you will be affected by the issues I addressed, then you may find a stay at this hotel needling.

The rooms were excellent. Very quiet. All the employees were very nice. The hot tub wasn't working and the pool water was so cold. Couldn't even get in there. The breakfast was TERRIBLE. No potatoes, the bacon was sitting in alot grease which made it soggy. No knife to cut the bagels. They didn't come to the table to refill our drinks. When asked a young man to refill our drinks he ripped off his gloves and just threw them on the the counter . He refilled only the coffee not our juice or water. The breakfast was what most hotels give as complimentary. It was not even worth 11.99 each. Terrible.

Such a large, beautifully furnished Inn. The young man at the front desk was very helpful. Gave us options for dinner, breakfast. Very personable.
We are silver members and the front desk clerk recognized us right away.
We found our room. A double queen, very spacious. The beds were so comfy!!! I slept so soundly. Best experience I’ve had staying in a holiday Inn.
The pool was clean, but I wished it was a little warmer. I think the hot tub issue is world wide?!?!
Over all great experience. Clean. Helpful friendly staff.
