Showed up at 10:45 and were told we would be in room 305. We went to our room and the door was open and the beds were not made. We went back downstairs, and were then assigned 320. We went up to 320 and the room was again open and dirty. We went back downstairs and were told the staff would check on a room on the second floor and if it wasn’t clean, it would be cleaned shortly and we could finally go in our room. Finally at midnight, over an hour after arrival, we were able to go to room 220 for the night. The pillows on each bed had a horrible smell to them. The pool was not cleaned and the lock to the door on the pool did not work. When we checked out, we were told by the hotel they had us down to stay until 7/18, but I verified with my Expedia booking that we only booked one night. Horrible experience and I demand a refund.

The room very clean but the pool are very dirty, the ac in the room when starting has a very loud buzzing noise which woke us up all night, after about 15 seconds it would smooth out and sound fine. In the pool area there are two very poorly hung pergolas waiting to fall and cause a serious injury’ they are attached to the pool maintained building by two ledger boards at one end’ the ledger board is attached to the building with small screws, you can actually see the ledger board starting to detach from the building. If that board fails the whole very heavy pergola will fall straight down, very poorly built. Also the toilet runs on after flushing, the ball chain gets stuck under the water stop in the tank, needs to be shortened. Last, black mold in a small corner of the tub.

Dirty and mildew smell lots of broken features
Definitely not looking to complain, the stay was adequate; but for what I paid, I expected MUCH better. The room smelled like mildew and was really damp feeling in the pillows, the room door took 30 to 50 attempts to open every single time and the front desk just told me to lift up on the door handle ( didn't work) and other guests would walk by and say " oh yours does that too," like it was an ongoing issue with all the rooms, the room was not clean; hairs under the toilet seat, dirt in the caulk line if the tub, the carpet had dirt, etc, and the pool skimmer seemed to be broken because the water was completely covered full of bugs and various leaves, also the spa was shut down. I could have went to the next door hotel and save $50 on my stay there and I wish I did.

The hot tubs was not working, the rooms were not properly stocked, we had to ask for the bedding for the pull out couch, the breakfast was not fully available as the stove in the kitchen was broken. There was also mold in the bathroom and on the shower curtain.

Overall, the room was relatively nice and of decent size. However, when we pulled out the sofa bed, my son & noticed what appeared to be dead bed bugs. The toilet was also running & leaking on the floor around the toilet. When I took the cover off the tank to see what might be causing it to keep running, I noticed it was very corroded inside the tank, and there appeared to be mold growing around the inside of the tank. The outdoor pool and hot tub did not appear to be well maintained or clean. I also struggled falling asleep because people were in the pool well past the 10 pm closing time. When I mentioned this to the gentleman at the front desk, he said he closed the pool down by 10:30. However, we heard people being very loud in the pool for an hour or more past that time, even from our 3rd floor bedroom that overlooked the pool, and we still had another 6 hours to drive the next day for our trip. For the breakfast, though there were containers for a hot breakfast, the staff never put out any hot food. We were promptly informed there was no hot food by other hotel guests, so the disappointed was very apparent from other patrons.

Not what I expected from Holiday Inn. I booked because they were supposed to have a hot tub and breakfast. Our cards were not opening doors like they are supposed to. There was nothing to tell us where things were. Toilet plugged up and desk just got him a plunger for him to use. Couldn't get anyone to answer phone. At least the pool was available.

Overall we had a good stay at this hotel, the staff was nice and helpful when we asked. The breakfast was great with lots of selections. However, there was NO shampoo or conditioner left in the dispensers in the shower at all, you could tell they just never refilled it after multiple stays. And we had to ask for extra towels, we had 5 staying in the room and we only received two towels. Pool was decent.

The hotel was okay, no major problems. It could use a few updates. I was double charged for my room but it was taken care of when I called and spoke to a manager. The location was good.
