Will stay here again.

Our room was very nice. All of the furnishings were clean and attractive. It was handicapped accessible and everything was very handy. The only problem we encountered was with the TV. We were unable to get it to work and checked with the desk. It was late and we were ready for bed. The desk offered someone to come up to try to fix the problem but we refused because of the late hour. A credit was offered for the inconvenience. Thank you Holiday Inn. Much appreciated.

This room was filthy hair all over the bed shower and bathroom. Looked like someone spilled stuff all over the walls also and the footstool looked like it had blood all over it. It was very clear that the floors and carpet were not swept or vacuumed
