Booked a non-smoking room, but the room we got smelled smoke. Requested for a change of room, but the front desk lady wouldnt give us another room. Very unlikely room condition for an holiday Inn, not going back again.

Great overall!!
Very organized breakfast area. Pancake machine was awesome. Coffee cups above average. We asked for additional items for our room with quick response. Our only complaint would be parking. Sometimes could not find a spot and parked two businesses away. Should not charge $10/ day. I paid $40 at the end of our stay and should have realized two nights i was not even in the parking lot.

The hotel is very old and outdated. The morning staff is friendly but the evening staff is not the best. The bathrooms are very outdated and have stains which I was told can not be removed. The bathrooms also dont have fans in them making the rooms smell musty. The carpet in the rooms and hotel have stains are are very dirty. I was told by a friend this hotel used to be a homeless shelter. At least they could of replaced things and properly clean it, after converting it back to a hotel. I have stayed at Holiday Inn Express Hotels in the past. By far this one is the worst hotel I have stayed at. Motel 8 is much better than this hotel.
