The main complaint is the fire alarm went off really early in the morning waking everyone, we were all peaking out our doors looking to see if there was a fire and what we should do and there was no direction from anyone. I called the front desk and he said they had checked and as far as they could tell there was no fire but the fire department was coming just to be on the safe side and if there were any issues they would let us know! We never heard back! It was just a rude awakening so early in the morning but they did let us check out an hour late!

My stay at holiday inn.
Check in was easy. Parking ok, breakfast was very good. Room was clean. They don’t service rooms every day. Didn’t like that. Was there for two days. If I’m paying bay prices I’d like my room cleaned daily. Trash taken out and towels.

Hotel that has seven better days. The staff friendly, the rooms were adequate but not what I expected. Card key readers were a pain in that they wouldn't open the doors. Thought it was just me but a lady in adjoining room commented she had the same problem. All in all I wouldn't stay there again.

The staff was hospitable and kind, the only issue we encountered was when one of our key cards would work and the other would stop working. The front desk worker was swift to resolve the issue. Aside from our key cards, the room was clean, and the beds were very comfortable. My family and I would recommend this hotel.

Our phones volume was so low i coundnt hear the front desk. I was trying to ask for more blankets. The pull out bed was very lumpy and i could feel the springs underneath the mattress. Everything else was fine. Nothing special stands out.
