Room was clean although the carpet appeared a little old (maybe the color). The shower could use fresh caulk. Otherwise it was fine. Excellent breakfast and great location. Convenient to downtown restaurants. Stayed here before, three years ago. Would stay again.

Better than average.

Easy access on and off I70 but close enough that you do hear some traffic from the freeway. Didn’t keep us awake, though. Nice breakfast choices. Room was clean and comfy. Negatives: kinda noisy. Could hear noise from other rooms. Bath looked clean but caulking around tub needed to be cleaned and/or replaced.

This property was way too expensive for what you got. The pool was not kept up. The hot tub was not working. When we got to the room the tv only had a few channels working. This was very disappointing as we were wanting to watch before bed. When I tried to call the front desk the phone wasnt working. I had to call from my cell phone and was told the tv channels were out in most of the rooms and that the phones had been out for awhile. I wish we were told this sooner. She did try to find us a different room but there were none available. She also was going to have a guy come out but it was so late (930pm) and we didnt want to be bothered. The breakfast was really good though. Overall, I was disappointed with the stay for how much I paid ($230).

Holiday Inn can do better.

The hotel was clean. The bed was very uncomfortable to me. Hard as a rock. The screen in the window was so full of holes. I guess from a hail storm. Would have been nice to be told of this. Holiday Inn has tons of money, I’m sure they can replace screens. Doesn’t take much. Upon going to the Elevator on 3rd floor I noticed the cover off the Ice Machine. Brought it to the attention of 2 Desk Managers. Once within hours of arriving “was told they didn’t have a maintenance guy on staff and they would call someone” and once in check out. Was never fixed. Wide open, running with wires exposed. Nice lawsuit waiting to happen.
Unhappy with my view

Nice place. We stay there when in town. Beside Walmart and highway so a little noisy. It could use a facelift but very acceptable.
