"Disappointed"
Overall Score1.0/ 5
Never had a bad experience with Holiday inn until now. I was not informed of the remodeling taking place at this location. I understand that these things happen occasionally and are very much needed as is the case for this location. The carpet was filthy, the shower drained slowly and the dead bolt to the door was broken. Thankfully I was directly across the hallway from the room where checkin was being held. Would I have known there was remodeling being done I would have chosen another location to ensure a peaceful night of sleep for work the following day.

Overall Score4.0/ 5
My first day, no internet, wasn't until I had to go down to the front desk the first night to get connected by the desk clerk.Found out as on my last day that they're are only ice machines on every other floor. It would have been nice to have some information in my room about nearby restaurants, shopping etc.

Overall Score4.0/ 5
First time at a Holiday Inn. Checked in a little early and the staff was accommodating and friendly. Hotel and room overall was clean and all staff were friendly. Ready made coffee in dispensers in lobby/breakfast area was "meh" but there was a single serve Keurig machine in our room with complimentary coffee pods so that would have been a better option. Bed and pillows were surprisingly very comfortable. Breakfast had more of a variety than the typical free breakfast, personnel taking care of the dining area and keeping up with the food did a good job keeping everything clean and maintained.
