6/10 Good

The staff was friendly, and rooms were clean but very cramped lights in the restroom didn’t fully work room service was not offered, nor were fresh towels. We stayed on the second floor guests above us were so loud it was hard to even watch TV the The location of the hotel is not in the best of neighborhoods.

Room not cleaned at all!
Horrible breakfast! Room only had 2 bath towels in it and the chairs in the room had some sort of liquid all over it. This had to be the least clean holiday inn we have ever stayed at.

2/10 Poor

Don’t stay here
Couldn’t really have been worse. No hot water, not enough towels, elevator broke, not a safe neighborhood and not really any amenities that were great options for families. Toilets and tub/shower didn’t work either. They took money a week in advance, charged and insane amount for a room where things didn’t work right. Cancelled our second night and left early, only to find out the next day that they not only DIDN’T refund the night but took an extra $300+ from my account. The site manager is supposed to call me and still hasn’t, site won’t answer the phone for either hotels.com or the corporate office.

4/10 Fair

Terrible communication
Stay was supposed to be two nights. Breakfast the first morning. Out of eggs. Out of the cinnamon roll things they’re known for. Out of orange juice. No butter. Like so much missing. Then that day when I get back. The water is off!!! No notice no warning. No signs. Water is out. My faucet shot out black sludge that smelled terribly and then I couldn’t grab a shower after a long day. Asked for the second night refunded and I left.

6/10 Good

Needs work. Not well insulated for noise. Elevator makes alarming noises and bumpy/jerky before stopping. Lobby/breakfast area much smaller than usual for a Holiday inn, which made breakfast time very congested. No creamer for coffee. Granola container had 4-5 inches of granola dust in it. No ice machine on 4th floor. Staff not particularly friendly, including front desk. Extremely convenient location if you are going to the expo center. Easy to find. Neighborhood not great.

Great staff- not so great building
The staff were polite and respectful. The breakfast was good and the lady working it was nice and kept everything clean. Our room was not very clean. The bed was horrible! One side had a giant dip/hole in the mattress that you just sunk into. The shower water ran all over the bathroom floor. The staff are good. The building needs work.
