Don’t clean the rooms if you are not ready they pass by your room. Pool and jacuzzi is dirty and when asked for towels they didn’t provide any.

I didn't like the room service, no attention to details and they didn't show up one day. Looking to my bank account i have noticed they charge me 50 dollars i don't understand for what. My last comment is on the expensive cost of the room and poor service. It isn't acceptable to pay that kind of money and have that kind of service.

The staff was very kind and friendly. I travel often to your area, and my first stay was great. The room and staff was fantastic. The second time around the staff was still very friendly, however, the room wasn’t great. I was in room 3040, there was a loud sound coming from some where, like a hum or a buzz…I suffer from migraines so sounds mean a lot to me. I had already undressed and didn’t feel like switching rooms. There was also an odor in the room and refrigerator wasn’t very cool. I travel a lot and I’m looking for a hotel where, I can book monthly. I have always loved Holiday Inn, but….this stay was just not the greatest. I’m not sure if I will return to this one, maybe another Holiday Inn, or another Hotel altogether. I’m a nurse and I work long hard hours, when it’s time for me to rest, I like to rest comfortably. One more thing, I leave early around 6 am. There never any coffee, for your early travelers you should have something…especially, coffee. Just an fyi… Rj
