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.
