4/10 Fair

This property needs a total renovation. The room and furniture were nice enough, but the bathroom is outdated. The toilet would run on and off during the night. The AC unit was VERY loud. The parking deck was CLOSED, and the temporary/alternate parking was further from the building. This was very inconvenient. The overall experience felt like a rip off for the price paid.

The room that we got - facing the freeway was loud and the air/cond. was loud - not only that the Parking lot was across the street.

Stay was great minus the fack that their primary parking spots were not open. Had to use the back lot for parking. Then, we walked through the empty blocked off primary lot to get to the door. The staff were kind and the pool area was clean.

10/10 Exceptional

I booked this hotel 15 minutes before checking in. I had a reservation at another hotel but when I pulled in, it didn’t look like a great place to stay. Thankfully the Holiday Inn had rooms available! The only negative was the parking lot was closed for fixing but thankfully there was a parking lot across the street, just a bit of a walk. The stay overall was great. My room was comfortable and clean. I like the added security of having to use your hotel key to gain access to the actual hotel.

SAD
Everyone was kind and helpful but it was insultingly over priced for the scratchy towels, dirty pool, and tiny room we received.
