Remodeling was occurring while our vist and prior to booking it didn’t mention they were remodeling. I think future reference should let customers know if they have ongoing remodeling and only certain accommodations are available.

Bee positive.

I was unaware of the renovations that were in progress when I booked this hotel. Despite the initial shock when we drove up to see the exterior of the building and concurrently the lobby, the renovations that are happening and have happened in the upper floors are beautiful. The attention to detail in the thoughtful design of the rooms is really magnificent.
The whimsy is so refreshing.

The hotel was under construction. No bar, pool or gym was available. Was not informed before arrival. Only one floor open. When leaving and arrivel white debris would get on cars, luggage and clothes from construction. Staff was nice but if i had known it was under construction, i would have stayed somewhere else. Semi tralier were stored all over parking lot. The hotel looked abandoned when driving up. This was not the experience I hoped for and i feel was robbed of the experience i payed for to have these amenities. There was many hotels in the area to choose from. I will not pick Holiday Inn again.

We arrived to the facility to find it under construction. The room I booked was unavailable as they were only using one floor of rooms. I was never made aware of any of these issues. We were told we could cancel (which we did) but ended up scrambling to find somewhere to stay that night. We ended up 20 minutes further than we wanted to be Very disappointed

The hotel is under renovation, so my neutral responses were because of that. The night staff is amazing and attentive.

The property is under construction for the appearance of what was advertised on your web site. There was construction and trailers all over, advertised room service but all the amenities come with the new cinstruction not what it actually is right now. The room i reserved was not readyat che k in time and i would have to wait an additional hour. I had to make a deposit. I would bot have stayed at this hotel if i knew this information. There were anenities i was looking for and stated it had and room check in was at 4 pm. Onebof tge elevators was used fornothing but constructijn and it showed. This stay was crap. I will never dtay at a holiday in again.

There is currently renovations going on and we were not informed about that. The noise started at 8 am. One of the elevators looks like it needs to be shut down. Our room had a giant brown stain on the curtains and the bathroom had white water toothpaste looking stains on the wall.
