Great location for our stay

The front desk staff was always very friendly and helpful. The overall cleanliness around the hotel was great however the room itself could have been cleaned better especially the shower. The housekeeping situation throughout our entire 4 day stay was super frustrating too!! The first day there they woke us trying to come in just a few minutes after 8am then the next day they never even came by the 3rd day they came in and only took the towels and left new towels. Then the 4th day (day of check out) even with the do not disturb on they tried coming in a few minutes after 8am again. Breakfast was good but not as great as we've come to expect from Holiday Inn again just seems to be depending on staff working that day.

Hair in shower and on floor by toilet. Couldn't turn off light by TV, called front desk, they hung up on me. Called again, she refused to answer. Slept with a towel over my eyes, problem solved. Bed comfortable, area safe. Not a terrible stay.

Very impressed with the overall of the room, very clean, comfortable and very modern. Very good location to stay if going to the Rainbow Ryders. The proximity is incredible, only 5 mins walk.Traveled to enjoy a night before my activity in the hot air balloon. The international breakfast was very good with many choices. Staff very knowledgeable and friendly.

It was a little pricey for that type of property. I would say it should’ve been 1/3 the price for that place! Plus they overcharged my card by $50 of what I was quoted. The front desk guy was not a friendly person, he didn’t even tell me which direction the room/elevators were. I hope they give me my refund!
