Warn visitors that the turn is immediate off of a hwy going 55mph to try to make a turn after coming over a hill. When you miss the turn it reroutes you through a run down neighborhood for several miles.

Disliked: Amenities
The facility is old. We didn’t even stay. Check in and it was nasty. Our non smoking room very much smelled like smoke. The shower had mold all over it and the ceiling looked like it could fall in at any moment. The staff was terrible. Asked for more bedding and they wanted us to come get it….. But we checked out 15 minutes after we checked in and went somewhere else that was better.

Ehh

The pictures were a little deceptive. It looks a little brighter and cleaner in the photos, but it definitely has kind of a creepy aesthetic to it when you first walk it. Just very dim lighting and eerily quiet.

Crappy

The room was very dated. Entry room light and overhead light in bathroom - burned out. Bed rolled to middle. Shower ok, except for the mold in the corners, and vanity and shower soap dispensers not functioning. Carpet needed cleaning. TV remote was broken. A/C put out humid air. Worst Holiday Inn I’ve ever stayed in!
