Got 2 rooms POOL closes too early - 1) TV didn’t work and was told to fix it ourselves. Room 2) smelled like mildew, and floor by ac was soaked. BUT the management in morning gave me back the cost of 1 room. Which is why I gave stars!

The curtains in our room were missing hooks and wouldn't completely close. The air conditioner did not quite work properly. Adjustments were limited and it would only allow you to adjust it down so much. During the daytime hours you could have it turned down to 64, yet the room would stay at 72. Other Holiday Inn hotels I've stayed in didn't have these issues.

Great place to stay in Metropolis, Illinois!

I found the room very clean. The employees were very friendly, professional, and helpful. Breakfest is complimentary with a good variety of choices. I stayed there while attending the Metropolis Superman Celibration.

Loved seeing the lobby decorated for Superman. Room was quite comfortable except there was a bad odor in the bathroom where it seemed like it had not been cleaned throughly from the last guest. Breakfast setup was delicious each morning.
