Great basic hotel

This hotel met our needs very well. The service at check-in was great! Room was clean and spacious. I had to go to bed very early to get up and get on the road by 3AM and heard very little noise from the hallways.

This is not a 3 star property. The employees seem overworked. There was regularly no one at the front desk. The smell on the 3rd floor was disgusting due to persistent issues with the guest laundry facility.

Checked in to have no heat and its 30 degrees outside, couldnt move rooms because they were full. Got a $30 discount but for having no heat it should have been a free night. Very disappointed in this since now 2 of the 3 people that stayed in the room with no heat are sick. Very disappointed!

There were not any fresh towels for our second night- only one bath towel. I was supposed to get an email to sign up for the rewards program and I didn’t, so I signed up on my own. I was told I would get the points for our two night stay on July17 and 18. How do I get the rewards points?

Cheap skate holiday inn

Business - hotel not to the normal Quality of a Holiday Inn I have stayed at multiple across the county weekly for business. Dirty and cheap. There was not even soap in the bathroom to wash your hands - that’s how cheap this place is no tea or coffee options in the room also. For the price I paid $150 a night I felt ripped off in honesty. Was told management had taken the decision to remove tea and coffee from the rooms. Honestly price should be $72 as put it at the same level as a motel 6 or super 8 but at least they have tea and coffee. Bathroom also needs a good bleach perhaps too cheap to buy that - pink mold in bathtub - bring your flip flops if staying here. Won’t stay here again. Cheap skates.
