This hotel has a really good rating, but in my experience it was very very very dirty, the floor had millions of hairs, the bathtub was unclean and also had hairs. The people and staff were very nice, they helped us get an early check in and check out without any inconvenience! The bedroom very comfy!

We booked this because we have always had a good experience with Holiday inn. This room on the other hand. The toilet leaked the thermostat was needing a new battery and so was the remote. We did not spend much time in the room but what we did we were disappointed in the quality for the price. We did enjoy the Restaurant in the Hotel. Burger Theory. The food was quite good.

The hotel staff were very friendly and helpful. Parking was easy and in lot behind the hotel. It was very clean foyer with nice areas to sit. There is a restaurant that smelled delicious. There was a lot of people staying on the night we were there but it was very quiet in the room. The room was clean but the bathroom needed some attention. I would most likely stay again.
