Bad Place

This room was horrible. The AC and refrigerator were loud, the hallways and elevator had a horrible smell it never went away. The bed linen was stained, the mattress had stains, their was mold in the bathroom, the couch had tears and holes, the curtains were messed up, There looked like maybe a leak above the bed because there was a big bubble. If you wanted dishes or appliances for the kitchen they had to be checked out at the front desk. I would never stay here again. Also the pillows are very small. No smart tv. This hotel needs to upgrade and remodel.

I was disappointed after reading other reviews that people highly recommended this hotel. I have stayed in other Holiday Inn locations and found this location to be other than pleasing. First and foremost, I like to iterate that this hotel is directly on the other side of a sound wall of the freeway. Make sure that you request the side that does not face the freeway because it is very loud which makes it very uncomfortable to fall asleep and stay asleep. Our first room that we entered smelt like pet urine and cigarette smoke. The furniture was worn the drawers and the dresser would not shut…. very disappointed that they would even consider putting their patrons in this room. The hallways were very warm. The thermostat in the hallway red 82°. The door to the outside parking that is supposed to be secure is not. Anyone can enter the hotel free at will. This hotel has seen better days. I would like to remind everyone that they accept animals. Therefore, you might get a room that has the smell of a kennel which is very disappointing. The furniture is old and worn down, carpets are dirty and rooms smell of mildew I’m not sure why there was positive reviews of this location. I’m not being overly picky and want to share my frustrations with this location.
