The staff was really friendly and helpful. The beds were wonderful, different firmness of pillows on each bed. Great experience!
Positives: The beds and pillows were amazingly comfortable!
Negatives: You couldn't see the sign coming from one direction so we kept missing the turn into the hotel.

Holiday Inn's are using the three sheet method to make the beds, so they don't have bedspreads. Housekeeping at this hotel doesn't know how to do this correctly. Plus the towels in our bed were damp when we arrived.
Positives: Location is nice.
Negatives: They don't know how to make the beds right.

The pool water temp was a bit chilly, but otherwise the hotel was superb. The staff went out of their way to make sure you were happy, and that you did not want for anything.
Positives: Very accommodating - made the trip fantastic.
Negatives: Did not have a sauna---not advertised as having one, but a sauna is nice.
