The other two Holiday Inn properties we stayed in on this trip offered free breakfast. We didn’t qualify apparently. The property is under renovation. At no point during the booking process was this disclosed. The A/C was exceedingly loud, the taps dripped, there were huge stains in the bathtub. We were still charged full price. Snack area was a huge rip off. $4 for a chocolate bar? They were $2 at the other properties. Access stairs to the lower parking lot were blocked off. Would not stay here again

Room and hotel were ok, unfortunately booking though Expedia does not warn that the hot tub was not working and that you need to book a specific package for the ‘free’ breakfast. This was disappointing as the breakfast and hot tub were two of the reasons we chose this hotel with our kids for vacation.

The restaurant, cleanliness and bed was comfortable.

Staff did not advise me where to park. I could not read the Wifi password. Staff did not advise re heating. Plugs were limited and some did not work.
