I wasn't sure about the hotel when booking, or when I walked in the front door, but it wasn't bad. It looks like they are working their way through the hotel remodeling and hopefully upgrading. The room itself was clean, the bed was fine, and it looked like they had already upgraded it a bit. The television was a tube TV rather than some form of flatscreen that many hotels have switched to, but it worked just fine, no complaints. The front desk area looks like it has been redone. The basement level looks like it is in the process of being remodeled, so the first 2 floors smelled, but that didn't carry into the upper floors. The fitness room is very small and not very inspiring, it looked like the equipment needs upgrading, though we did not have time to try it out. The front desk staff was great, very friendly and helpful.
I would consider trying this hotel again in the future, once the work is done. It looks like they are on track to remodel like many of the other Holiday Inns.
