The hotel has clean and spacious rooms with mini fridge and microwave. The hallway is a little weird with 3 room doors opening towards each other but not a major issue. The man who checked me in was getting hammered by a lot of guests coming in at the same time. He was coming off his shift (and was supposed to have been off), but the lady coming on shift was there too. There was around 6 or 7 separate people in line and the lady kept going through papers instead of jumping in and getting customers checked in/out. I felt like the customers should have been the lady’s priority. The poor guy was doing the best he could.

No coffee in ro

If I understand correctly, Holiday Inn (corporate wide) made the decision not to have coffee in the room. If that is the case, we won't be staying here in the future. No coffee in the room and we had to go down to get it...not fun.
