Staff was great. Room was in rough shape. Shower curtain was ripped at the top and the angled shape of the rod caused the curtain to not close all the way, leaking water out and soaking the floor. We did not have a remote and the replacement one they brought was filthy and the volume button didn't work. Not enough accessible outlets and one outlet didn't always work. We had four people in our party, yet only three towels were in the bathroom, so we had to call the front desk to request another towel. Couch arm had a rip, stains on the carpet, and just an overall run down appearance in our room.

This hotel appeared to have been a much older hotel that Holiday Inn took over and just tried to put band-aids on the defects instead of remodeling. Not up to Holiday Inn standards.
