We were looking forward to using the pool but found out when we arrived that renovations onsite would not avail us of that easy option. Our room was great, it's just the general reception area that was unfinished.

The only reason I choose this hotel was for the pool and hot tub which were under renovation so could not use them they could have sent an email stating this and I would have chosen a different location for half the cost if I didn’t want a pool! there are no vending machines or in hotel options to get a drink you have to leave the property if you need a drink or snacks. definitely not choosing this hotel next year for my daughters dance competition was a waste of time and money.

For starters, the holiday inn has charged me my deposit and not returned the amounts. I was there on 2 separate stays. 12/3-12/4 wed night and 12/8-12/11, a 3 night stay. They decided to keep $5 from me for each night I was there and all I did was sleep.
Their refrigerators DO NOT get cold. I had allergy medication with me that needs to stay cold, and that was a no go on both stays. They let me check a third room, again no good. Warm refrigerators.
Then when the AC / heater turned on, my allergies went through the roof to the point where I couldn’t breathe right to even sleep. I had to turn the AC / heater off, which made to room 55° most of the time. There must be a lot of dust or mold in the HVAC units.
Not to mention the place is under renovation and there’s next to nothing to do in the hotel because everything is shut down.
Pool is drained, workout room is closed down, but not one sign anywhere telling you this.

Wouldn’t recommend.

P.S. I want my money back that you chose to keep without stating what for.
If I took something that would be considered theft, but you don’t return my deposit and that’s not theft?

It is the most expensive hotel in Johnstown and there was nothing to show for it. There was not even extra coffee pods to refil our in room coffee after our first night.....

Staff was certainly courteous. Room clean. However, the shower/sink water was light brown, then cleared up in a few minutes with each use. Perhaps due to the extensive maintenance/remodel work being done throughout the building. The room had, get this, not a single electrical outlet. The makeup/computer desk was right up against the heater/airconditioner blower outlet. Also, the toilet was apparently powered by a jet engine. We've never heard one so loud. Mildly overpriced for this level of accommodation.

The property is in the middle of renovations and is very lovely inside. It has a nice restaurant. The new toilets are power flush. I understand the reason for them, but we were awake from 3:00 a.m. on, because you could hear the neighboring toilets when they were flushed. This is a very nice hotel but in my opinion, it's expensive for not including free breakfast. There was also a fee to park. Not sure what there is to do in that area, as we only stayed there because we were dropping our son off at college.

The lobby has an immediate musty odor upon aarrival. As you look around it is apparent that most common areas are dated, worn, and dirty. To get to the pool you pass employees o ly areas with trash bags in hally way and a few tripping hazards. Staff at front desk was very curt and unwelcoming. No water or refreshments to greet guest. The room was in very nice condition, clean and newly renovated.
Location is great. The value is questionable. Top dollar for the area , but not a top dollar type of proeprty or service.

Would skip it next time…

I am really disappointed. I chose this hotel over others in the area that were rated the same but much lower priced because of the hot tub. I get there and it’s closed, my daughter had no hot water at all. Mine was lukewarm. The ice machine on my floor wasn’t plugged in. No vending machines and the safety chain on our door was installed upside down so you couldn’t use it. The lady at the desk said this was actually the case with a lot of rooms so that’s even more concerning. The deadbolt for the adjoining room door wasn’t lined up totally right so it just touched… it didn’t actually lock. Then there was the white substance all over the desk and curtain… I seriously don’t even want to think about what it could be… so nasty.

All of the staff was friendly, including Mr. Rayan / Ryan who highly recommended the restaurant that my family was able to enjoy during their stay. He was also a friendly face to see around the property. The rooms are amazing . Wonderful size, clean, and I had a decent view. I just feel they need more outlets (but it could’ve just been my room. There is also a bar/restaurant within walking distance that had a tasty Salmon. Overall, I highly recommend this beautiful town and hotel!

It would have been nice to have been told this at check-in, along with breakfast info, etc. Calling the front desk went to 12 rings, twice. The tub was extremely slippery. I dont know why hotels even have tubs/shower combos anymore. The are dangerous. A walk-in shower is perfect.

Sketchy Parking!!

The hotel seems to be going through a remodel. Hopefully the rooms will be updated soon. The beds were comfy and the staff that we encountered were absolutely wonderful and so friendly. The kicker is the parking situation. I’ve never felt more sketched out than I was when I was parking at around 10pm. There was an obvious drug deal going down and I felt very unsafe. Do yourself a favor and make sure you are in the hotel before dark.

DO NOT book/stay here! Terrible experience here this past weekend. We traveled for our daughter sporting event at summit area- I would save $$$ and drive 12-15mins to a cleaner safer area with restaurants, adequate parking! This hotel is under renovation, our room smelled like sewage, the toilet was struggling to flush and was extremely loud. They advertised an indoor pool but they did not have it available for guests and had everyone checking in sign a form saying we’re “ok” with the pool being closed. They do not have a continental breakfast like most other hotels: They have a full-service restaurant connected to the hotel my husband, daughter and I were staying yet. We were only given two breakfast vouchers per day. We were told children eat free for breakfast that we didn’t need a voucher for her first day we eat breakfast on Saturday no problem. Sunday comes around. We need to pay free/ included breakfast was not offered management and the waitress straight up Told my husband and I that since it’s competition weekend and there’s a lot of kids that although they always do kids eat free during the week and weekends they’re not doing it this weekend so even though we were registered guests at the hotel we still had to pay for breakfast. Our server at the restaurant was actually very friendly and very good but the food was terrible so save yourself the money and go to sheetz. The area itself is a dump- the parking is terrible! Small ramp for oversized trucks/suv! Avoid!
