“holiday inn”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 29 November 2011

I've been staying at this Holiday Inn for the last 9 years when visiting relatives in the area. Alot of remodeling has been going on and most of it is for the the better. Pluses- the new shower heads are wonderful!!!! The room looked like it was recently redone- new paint, new carpets, new wallpaper and tiles in bathroom. Temperpedic bed- OMG, it was like sleeping on clouds!!!Probably the best sleep I've had in a long time! Mini-fridge and microwave also a big plus. The indoor pool was actually heated- and had a wonderful swim- almost an hour in the pool!!!
Minuses- the room had no pictures on the walls, no headboard and no decrotive curtains-you could see where the decrotive curtains were hung and cut down- just blackout curtains. But maybe they didn't get around to finishing decorating yet.. Not enough outlets in room- had to charge the cell phone in the bathroom. The toilet wouldn't flush completely- found out I had to hold the handle down for about 15 seconds...... I'm one of those people who like hotels where the windows open, that's why this was my go to hotel- the windows actually open. Untill this visit, to find the window screwed closed. I asked to be moved to the first floor, to a room that has a sliding glass door. To find a room with a window screwed shut! WTF? The internet conection is free, but every once in a while it would kick me off- seemingly at the most inoppertune times......I know these are little things to complain about, but they do add up.....I'll wait a while to visit this hotel again, and maybe they'll get the little things right again.

Room Tip: If you enjoy fresh air in the room, ask for 1st floor room with sliding glass door, If not , all roo...

“Recently decorated and really nice.”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 21 November 2011

They were actually still decorating some of the rooms when I stayed at the Holiday Inn, but it caused no disruption whatsoever. My room had been decorated and was lovely. The staff here are incredibly friendly and courteous and it was an absolute pleasure to stay here.

“BED BUGS!...otherwise, a nice place”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 19 November 2011
1
person found this review helpful

I travel fairly frequently and this was my first experience with bed bugs. In a word, it was - and continues to be - awful! I woke up with one suspicious, itchy red mark on my wrist but really thought nothing of it. By noon, several more bite marks appeared on my hands and arms and I knew for sure this had to be a bed bug issue. While at work that same day, I got a call from the hotel saying I needed to switch rooms because ,"our system is showing the heater is not working." when I entered my old room to get my things and move them to a room two doors down, both beds in the room were stripped down to the mattress covers. Odd that they need to strip the beds to fix the heater!

The most infuriating thing was that they weren't going to tell me the real issue and I would have brought contaminated clothing into my house when I returned. When I complained about these issues, I was STILL CHARGED for the room nights in the "bug room" and only given a $20.00 discount for each night.

What all the other reviews say about this place are true, but no amount of convenience or remodeling is worth risking this experience!!

“Very Nice Stay With a Large School Group”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 November 2011

We stayed at this hotel as part of a large school group. Everything was excellent. Our group had booked over 50 rooms and all were clean and comfortable. The buffet -style breakfast was fine. All in all, a good experience, and we would definitely stay there again. Notable was the very friendly front desk staff. I had some large pizza boxes that would not fit in any of the lobby garbage cans. I asked the front desk clerk where I could dispose of them, and she took them from me and told me she would take of them. Very nice touch.

Thank you for such a wonderful response! Mount St. Mary's School was a great group to deal with! The kids were so well behaved and obviously chaparones also did their part. Thank you again for your business. Feel free to call us anytime you need hotel rooms in the future!

“A Good Port in a Storm”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 1 November 2011

I stayed there when the power was out at my house. The staff is pleasant and welcoming. The rooms were neat and acceptably clean (don't do a white glove test on the edges of the carpet).

This hotel is currently being renovated and the construction crews are out by 6 pm.

I did not see any evidence of bedbugs, as had been mentioned in previous reviews.

The breakfast buffet was very good and check out was a snap. A pleasant stay and a respite from a couple of really harrowing days.

Room Tip: Rooms closer to the LA fitness building toward the back of the hotel are quieter.
