The pancakes were raw so new ones were brought out and those were raw also. I have had better continental breakfast than what Holiday Inn provided The beds were very uncomfortable and seemed to be as old as the hotel. The heater to the pool was broken which was a huge disappointment to my kids. The only thing my family enjoyed about our stay was the pillows.
Positives: I liked the pillows.
Negatives: The beds were very uncomfortable, "dipping".

The breakfast bar only had juice to purchase, only donuts for pastry items, dirty carpet in the hallway to the breakfast area with the smell of mold from the plants and soil.
Positives: The staff let us change rooms because our 1st floor room had a very heavy mold smell that was making my allegories flair up and gave me a headache.
Negatives: They only gave me a double size bed and the mold smell in the room was unacceptable.

I had a poor experience with this hotel. The hotel's attention to cleanliness is lacking. After sleeping there one night, I felt like I had been bitten by bed mites. I thought I had purchased a 3-star hotel, but it was a 1 star at best. I would never recommend the Holiday Inn to anyone.
Positives: Breakfast that is all.
Negatives: Dirty, lack of cleanliness.
Reviewer: Not provided on Mon 13 Aug 2007 rated 2 out of 10.
Instead I get there and my room was definitely not what was stated on the summary of this hotel. Granted the amenities were there, but the aura of the place was far from a 3 star.
Positives: Free breakfast and they provided the internet.
Negatives: The room was awful and the towels looked dirty.
Reviewer: Not provided on Sat 04 Aug 2007 rated 1 out of 10.
The only thing renovated seemed to be the front exterior. Few of the amenities were in service. Vending machines and ice machines did not work. The wireless internet failed often. The interior was dirty and trashed laid on tables for hours before being cleaned up. I would not return, nor would I recommend anyone to stay there.
Positives: Location.
Negatives: Wireless down, pools dirty, hot tub not working, no ice machines, loud music, poor plumbing.
Reviewer: Not provided on Sat 04 Aug 2007 rated 2 out of 10.
These people should drop the Holiday Inn name, as it does not live up to that level of service or comfort.
Positives: Location. That's it.
Negatives: Green pool, internet didn't work, ice machines broke and restaurant was defunct.

Hotel is old, needs a lot of renovations. The room was dusty, and there was dirt built up in corners. It smelled moldy. The wireless internet did not work. Breakfast cook was rude.
Positives: The front desk people were nice.
Negatives: This hotel is very rundown and we saw a water hose filling the pool and water was everywhere, dangerous.
Reviewer: Not provided on Thu 21 Jun 2007 rated 5 out of 10.

Positives: Indoor pool.
Negatives: Not enough space for all.

This is a very old hotel. Should not meet a 2.5 star on your site. Site said newly re molded. Far from it. Had to switch rooms 3 times to find a room that had an Air conditioner that worked properly. Disappointed.
Positives: Did not like anything.
Negatives: Old. Switched rooms 3 times.

This was by far the worst experience I have had in my life. This property needs to be totally knocked down and re-built. I could go on and on about how every experience was bad here but I will just keep it to a short essay and tell you please save yourself and do not stay here! Had two nights paid for and I left after one.
Positives: Really nothing, and horrible experience.
Negatives: Pool was green and dirty, broken lawn chairs, toilet in room broken, room next to mine did not even have a lock on the door or handle.
Reviewer: Not provided on Mon 30 Apr 2007 rated 1 out of 10.
The room they gave me had a single bed! The room was smaller than rooms you find in N.Y. The rooms are facing an indoor pool and the ac went wifi in all the fumes. The ac sounds like a helicopter in the room. Could not get any sleep all night. I had to change hotels the next day. Try the residence in next door.
Positives: Good coffee.
Negatives: This place smells, especially with chlorine.
Reviewer: Not provided on Sun 22 Apr 2007 rated 6 out of 10.

Positives: Location.
Negatives: Room was very plain and didn't appear to clean.

The staff was great and the rooms clean, but it is an older hotel and would have liked to have known that prior to the trip.

Negatives: It did not look anything like the pictures on the internet. Felt disappointed in the accommodations.
