Needs work. Not well insulated for noise. Elevator makes alarming noises and bumpy/jerky before stopping. Lobby/breakfast area much smaller than usual for a Holiday inn, which made breakfast time very congested. No creamer for coffee. Granola container had 4-5 inches of granola dust in it. No ice machine on 4th floor. Staff not particularly friendly, including front desk. Extremely convenient location if you are going to the expo center. Easy to find. Neighborhood not great.

The sidewalks had no salt down so very icy The parking lot had not had snow removal. The desk said they only had 2 cleaning people working Numerous people that came in after us got into their room before we were able to get in ours After 2 hours of this we questioned and they determined our room assigned to us was for handicapped which we did not need We were then told they had lots of rooms clean and they were able to get us a room

Great staff- not so great building

The staff were polite and respectful. The breakfast was good and the lady working it was nice and kept everything clean. Our room was not very clean. The bed was horrible! One side had a giant dip/hole in the mattress that you just sunk into. The shower water ran all over the bathroom floor. The staff are good. The building needs work.

Not a bad stay for a quick 1 night stay over

Front desk agent was great. I arrived late but she was very professional and polite. After check in I went back to her to purchase a few waters and gatorades and she remembered me and was friendly. The room was ok. Good size but was dated. The bed was comfy and sheets were clean. The bathroom def needs some updating and we found a few stray hairs on the counter but otherwise it was a good stay. The area seemed a little sketchy but it seemed as if they had a security team on staff.
