Poor room conditions

The room was in terrible condition. Peeling wallpaper and the toilet seat was not attached to the toilet. Bathtub had been repainted overtop of dirt and hair. All of the common areas were kept uncomfortably hot.

Spent one night here while moving. It’s less than 10 minutes to the baseball and football stadiums. Room was solid and the staff was nice. The internet was spotty in our room but that’s my only complaint.

Ehh

The pictures were a little deceptive. It looks a little brighter and cleaner in the photos, but it definitely has kind of a creepy aesthetic to it when you first walk it. Just very dim lighting and eerily quiet.

Fitness room is an overstatement: two piece of equipment available. The cleanliness of the bedroom was disappointing and made me a bit uncomfortable at first.

Crappy

The room was very dated. Entry room light and overhead light in bathroom - burned out. Bed rolled to middle. Shower ok, except for the mold in the corners, and vanity and shower soap dispensers not functioning. Carpet needed cleaning. TV remote was broken. A/C put out humid air. Worst Holiday Inn I’ve ever stayed in!

Mold in corner, cigarette burns on floor

Don't Just Don't

Where to begin. The room itself was fine, room was clean, the bed good and the pillows better than average. However, at about 8:am the fire alarm went off, and it kept going on and off for over 15 minutes. Person at the desk was on the phone and the housekeeping staff were jut going about their work. The breakfast area was HORRIBLE. The Cinnamon rolls were under a warming light, but were FROZEN. the tables and the floor was filthy. There were two guys in the kitchen area but made no attempt to clean anything. The property is full of weeds. On top of all of this, they charged $100 for incidental fees. We stayed at two other nice hotels over the weekend and they charged only $20. Never, Never Again.
