We were extremely disappointed with this hotel. The room we had the first night had a very unpleasant, musty odor.

Positives: The bartender was very nice & efficient.

Negatives: The rooms had a very unpleasant, musty odor.

Overall I'd say this was an okay place to stay. It was quiet and comfortable. The air conditioning worked and provided just enough white noise for us to sleep comfortably. We were a bit shocked when we checked in that they were putting us in a "smoking" room. It was the only room they had left that night. We had no idea that hotels still had designated "smoking floors." Everything in the room smelled like smoke. We woke up with a terrible taste in our mouths and we had to use the laundry (the nice big washer & dryer, coin operated and cheap was a plus) to wash the smell out of our clothes. They did move us to a non-smoking room the next day, however. Once during our stay both of our cards stopped working and it was the Manager herself that helped us. She even did a follow up phone call to make sure our cards were working properly. We didn't like the fact that they don't provide a complementary continental breakfast. The dining facilities were okay, but the one night we went down for dessert we were the only people there so it was a little awkward.

Positives: The staff are very friendly and very helpful.

Negatives: The first night we were put in a "Smoking" room, even though we are non-smokers.

The hotel was a bit older and the public areas were nice, but the rooms had mold inside of them, which is gross. With the front desk, it was hit or miss on whether or not we would get someone polite and helpful. That position is all about customer service, but the people just seemed worn and unhappy to be there. One of the main exceptions was awesome. Very friendly and always helpful.

Positives: The restaurant had good food.

Negatives: There was mold in the rooms and some of the front desk staff people were not helpful.

The room smelled (and felt) like it had been flooded, the bathroom door was falling apart like it had been wet, the paint was pealing off the bathtub, 100's of empty TV cartons throughout the hallways. Not a 2-1/2 star room IMO.

Positives: New TVs.

Negatives: The bathroom door was falling apart, the paint was pealing off the bathtub, 100 of empty TV cartons throughout the hallways.

No continental breakfast. New towels were not provided the second day. Had to request some.

Positives: Price.

Negatives: Far from city.

They treat you different, they make you feel unwelcome.

Positives: The bed.

Negatives: Hotel staff was rude, stuck us in a handicap room.

Great compared to most hotels, we've been to in the last year.

Negatives: It wasn't in the best location.

Positives: Good local with friendly staff.

Negatives: Swimming pool was too cold.

The Holiday Inn was a nice place to stay. The employees were nice, and the rooms were clean. There was some construction that required a crane at the hotel that gave me some concerns about safety issues.

Positives: The room was clean, people were nice.

Negatives: Smoking room assigned, but changed.

Reviewer: Not provided on Mon 24 Jan 2011 rated 5 out of 10.

If the room had smelled half way ok, and if we were given bath towels to use, it would have been comfortable. It seemed dark and gloomy but the breakfast was good. The smoke smell made it awful for me. I asked for another room but they said they didn't have any. Less than 2 minutes later, our friends, who were standing at the counter with us, got a non-smoking room. The receptionist explained it like this,"yeah, I don't know how there's ended up non-smoking".

Positives: It had white bedding instead of a print bedspread.

Negatives: The room smelled awful. and the second day, they didn't give us any bath towels. Had to dry with hand towels.

This is an old hotel that has been nicely updated. Owners can't help that the neighborhood is an older industrial area.

Positives: The business center was great.

Negatives: Location is only fair.

Reviewer: Not provided on Mon 13 Sep 2010 rated 7 out of 10.

Great hotel for the price. They have security so the dodgy location was workable. The hotel lounge/bar and restaurant are both well equipped and enjoyable.

Positives: Very clean and comfortable.

Negatives: Location was a bit dodgy.

Overall, the stay was great, and the hotel staff went out of their way to accommodate us.

Positives: The staff was very helpful and very friendly. Hotel was clean and air worked very well.

Very nice and<BR/>overall.

Positives: The overall appearance and cleanliness of the hotel was most impressive.

Negatives: The air conditioner in our room was very noisy. We had a very uncomfortable night, as the noise woke us frequently when the air cycled on.

It seems that the rooms in the hotel have been updated recently, however, the hotel is still dated. While the rooms are clean and well kept the hallways are shabby. It is also a bit irritating when a hotel does not keep the elevators air conditioned. The Internet was very slow. The treadmill was also of poor quality. The location is also poor. Close to a highway but not close to anything else.

Positives: Room was updated recently.

Negatives: Carpets dirty. Location poor. Treadmill poor. Internet connection was poor.

Reviewer: Not provided on Sun 04 Jul 2010 rated 5 out of 10.

The overall hotel was nice; however the location was being poor in a somewhat industrial area. The AC room could not bring the interior climate to a comfortable dry temperature. Everything felt almost wet with an extreme high humidity.

Positives: Easy access to a freeway.

Negatives: The location was not very desirable and we felt the interior comfort was poor.

Reviewer: Not provided on Fri 07 May 2010 rated 9 out of 10.

This hotel far exceeded my expectations for a comfortable, basic place to stay. The rooms are fresh and clean, with lots of pillows. The palms trees outside the window gave the place a nice tropical feel.

Positives: Exceeded my expectations - a very well-furnished room and very clean.

Negatives: No outdoor pool

The hotel itself is really nice until you get to your room. The room I stayed in was for smokers and smelled horribly. I was unable to change rooms. The hotel was located in a somewhat dumpy location (industrial) however, extremely close to the hotel. All in all, I don't think it was worth what I spent on the room. I could have stayed at a Red Roof Inn for the same price and would have been more comfortable.

Positives: Staff was extremely friendly and helpful.

Negatives: Placed us in a smoking room without option to change.

Negatives: Location

Reviewer: Not provided on Thu 18 Feb 2010 rated 5 out of 10.

It was a okay hotel. It was below average in comparison to other Holiday Inn's. The housekeeping staff was very friendly. There was not a microwave or refrigerator in the room. The pool was small. The waiter was rude at the restaurant. I asked her a question and she just walked away and never returned.

<BR/>

Positives: Staff - housekeeping helpful.

Negatives: Nonchalant attitude of restaurant staff.

I read mixed reviews after naming my own price which was 40 percent of the regular rate. They were mixed and I bet based on the time the people stayed there was summer travel season. I imagine this had a negative impact as the hotel was crowded and understaffed.

Positives: Inside nicer than the outside.

Negatives: Location, restaurant overpriced for quality.

Reviewer: Not provided on Fri 14 Aug 2009 rated 9 out of 10.

The beds were very comfortable and the staff was friendly. It was a good central location.

Positives: It was a very comfortable room with a very safe atmosphere.

Negatives: They were not the best at restocking the in room coffee and towels, but other than that they were great.

Reviewer: Not provided on Mon 10 Aug 2009 rated 10 out of 10.

The location allowed us to move easily around the area. The room was perfect. Workers would open our doors, smile, and very helpful.

Positives: The staff went above and beyond very friendly.

Negatives: At check in the clerk could smile.

This is a nice place to stay clean, quiet, comfortable. However, I have stayed in nicer 3 star hotels. A 2.5 star rating seems more realistic. The breakfast was expensive and not very good.

Positives: Very clean, quiet, comfortable beds.

Negatives: Breakfast was expensive and not very good.

Negatives: We had trouble with the keys.
