The room was very clean and comfortable. A lot of variety in the breakfast buffet.The staff at the front desk was very accommodating from fixing a glitch in the bill to bringing me a hair dryer in minutes after I called to let them know our room's hairdryer was missing. Overall, a very pleasant stay

I was absolutely disgusted by how dirty the floor of my hotel was as well as the desk chair. Both were severely stained with what I can only assume was blood and other things. I did not even sit on the desk chair!! I travel quite a bit, and I have always tried to use Holiday Inn, but I will be considering a different hotel the next time that I travel. There is no excuse for that chair to be in the room or that floor to be so stained that I never wanted to walk around without my shoes on.
