It was a good hotel for staying the night before an early flight. The hotel transportation to the airport starts at 4am, our flight left at 4 so we were unable to use that. I’m sure the hotel would have been nicer but it was completely under construction. I wish we could’ve received a discount as the pool and lobby and snack services were unavailable. Room was clean.

We had no idea the pool was not open which was why we booked that hotel in the first place. I feel the property should have communicated that. The rooms were nice and customer service and breakfast were all great, but our family was really looking forward to going swimming.

This facility was undergoing a complete renovation, pool was closed, breakfast area was broken up into two areas. They did the best they could do under the circumstances but I likely would have stayed someplace else if I had known they were doing a renovation!

I can think of nothing that I liked. We had two rooms. The bathroom door did not close on one room. The main door on the second room was very hard to open or close. We asked for a wakeup call for 4:30 AM. It never happened. There was no coffee available in the room. I always tend to get that a Holiday Inn. The pool was out of service. It sure would have been nice to know that ahead of time. Two receptionists were disinterested.

The hotel is under major construction and has dust everywhere on the first floor. We were not warned about this. The lobby area is a joke, cramped and a total mess. The breakfast area is crowded and poorly arranged with some of the foods not available for 15 minutes (or not at all). Several staff members were surly and very poor communicators. No one was at the check-in desk when we arrived. We waited and waited until finally someone showed up. Two staff members were excellent (Lulu and Sam), but despite their kindness we will never stay at this property again. For the hefty price we paid, it was awful.
