Exceptional Stay – Highly Recommend! I can confidently say it was a phenomenal experience from start to finish. The staff was incredibly welcoming and attentive, ensuring every detail of my stay was perfect. The room was spotless, spacious, and beautifully designed with all the amenities you could need. The hotel’s location was ideal
Phillip, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

The pool was not open at all while we was there. I would like to get some of my money back for that reason. I booked there for the pool and was not even allowed to swim.

saymone, 3-night trip

2/10 Poor

Rude Unhelpful Staff

I was doubled booked and tried to cancel one of the reservations immediately. I went to the property and spoke with Regina (front desk clerk) she was unwilling to contact a manager or cancel one of the reservations. She told me that only Hotels.com could cancel the reservation and there was nothing at all that she could possibly do to help. Regina was very rude on the two occasions I spoke with her.
rebecca m, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Tremendous staff. Clean and nice room
Edwin, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

We reserved this hotel specifically for the amenities of an outdoor pool and fitness space. I have been here for 5 days (4 nights) and the pool has been closed the entire time. This was not mentioned on the website when booking. Likewise the fitness center had three machines, one not functioning at all, and dismal set of weights where half or more were missing. I shared my displeasure with three different staff and none seemed to care. I came here for my son's college orientation and will be visiting often. I assure you I won't stay here again and I'll tell other parents the same. Truly a disappointment for the Holiday Inn chain...
