Disliked: Cleanliness
My recent stay at this Holiday Inn was, without exaggeration, one of the worst hotel experiences I’ve ever had — and an absolute disgrace to the Holiday Inn brand. To begin, the advertised airport shuttle was nonexistent. I waited patiently, only to be completely ignored. Multiple calls to the hotel went unanswered, leaving me stranded and forced to pay for an Uber out of pocket. Strike one. Upon arrival, things only got worse. The floors were visibly dirty, and I encountered bugs within minutes of walking in. The elevator reeked of stale cigarette smoke — a clear violation of what should be a non-smoking property. When I finally reached my room, I found the door handle barely attached to the door — a basic safety and maintenance failure that should have been addressed immediately. But none of that compares to what happened overnight. I spent the entire night scratching, only to wake up at 4 a.m. with a bed bug bite on my neck. Let me be clear: this is not just unpleasant, it is a health and safety hazard. Bed bugs are not only repulsive, they are a sign of gross negligence. This alone is enough to warrant serious concern from corporate. I paid for a clean, safe, and restful night. Instead, I got a sleepless, bug-infested nightmare. For the price I paid — and under the expectation that the Holiday Inn name guarantees a basic level of quality — this experience was insulting. This hotel should be ashamed. Your guests deserve, at a bare minimum, a clean and safe room free from

Disruption because of construction and remodeling. Major problem with keycard...many trips back to desk...only person at desk was very helpful and eventually reassigned us a different room which was very nice.

We selected this hotel for the airport shuttle specifically. However, no shuttle ever came. We called over and over and the call wouldn't even go through. We ended up calling a Lyft. Other people behind us at the check in desk said the same. However check in and room were fine.

Liked: Room comfort
The toilet and shower were dirty but the rest of the room was modern and clean. No one was at the front desk when I checked out. The lock on my door was in poor condition—it broke so I could not get into the room one night and it took a long time to fix while I waited in the hallway. The staff in the breakfast area worked hard and did a good job.

Staff attitude

It was very unfortunate that they were renovating but that wasnt really the issue. We were at this hotel twice in a very short period. The fist time everybody was super friendly and accommodating. They had an issue with their keys to enter the rooms. The first trip , when I came back down with my key the receptionist came back up with me to help. Very grateful for that. The second time, I was up and down like a yoyo (3 times) and the frontdesk lady couldnt care less that I had my 86 year old, mobility challenged mother with me. Other than that the rooms were comfortable.

We were surprised to see the renovations going on. That was okay, but we were not aware that there would not be any pool use and no longer a hot tub. Part of the reason for our excursion was to enjoy those two amenities, just as we had many years prior. The Staff however was amazing, Raif and Lulu. Thanks to them our stay was enjoyable. The breakfast room was in a different room altogether and staffed by only one person Brian. We were looking to meeting up with previous staff whom we got to know. We didn’t really like the changes. Brian asked if we’d come again and I said “no”. Unfortunately, we didn’t like the changes. If one was staying for an overnighter and perhaps flying out the next day, that would be okay. The rooms were great, exceptionally clean and comfortable. For a long relaxing stay, no.
