3rd stay here, going downhill

This was the 3rd year in a row we stayed here. We have enjoyed it the past couple years and stop here because we like Logans steakhouse next door. We can just tell from the 1st year we came here until now its going downhill. Logans too. Not as clean as it used to be but keeps getting more expensive. Unfortunately we made the decision we won’t be staying here again next year and will probably pick a different town to stop in

Wasn’t the cleanest Holiday Inn we’ve stayed at but the beds were clean. Plenty of towels in the bathroom. Soap and shampoo dispensers were full and worked.

We (family of 4) stayed here on our way down to FL for a night. The rooms were fine and the pool was open late so the kids could burn off some energy. Everyone at the front desk was wonderful and made sure we had everything we needed. Breakfast was a little chaotic because it was so busy, but staff did great keeping the food coming out quickly. I will say the a/c is a liar and does not go as low as you set it to, but we travel with a fan so we were okay.

Property was great. First night we used the pool and had great service. Second night power went out in the whole town due to weather and we didn’t have power at the hotel. Had to use the stairs with emergency lights at 10:00 pm to the 3rd floor with a handicap man. By the time we got in bed in the dark the alarms started going off and the fire department showed up and was escorting people out of the building.
