I liked how close it is to everything and the public parking is next door which is so much cheaper. I didn’t like that there was not a coffee maker in room.

My husband and I spent the weekend and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. All of the hotel staff were excellent, but especially Miss Gail at the breakfast buffet and Miss Wanda at the front desk. Everything was clean, our standard-sized room was spacious, and the bed extremely comfortable. The sole, minor negative was that one of the two elevators went out of service during our stay. Otherwise, it was top notch and we will definitely be back.

We arrived on Thursday and left on Monday. Housekeeping never came the entire time even after we requested twice!!
Also we selected you because of the pool and the hot tub, per request of our 11 year old. Both were unavailable starting on Friday-Monday of our stay.

Great location for exploring the historic district. Our room had a small balcony overlooking River Street buildings and the river. Unfortunately it seems E Bay street is the main thoroughfare for all trucks and it was quite loud in the morning (use white noise). Room was comfortable and clean, bathroom floor could use a good scrub. Staff was very helpful and pleasant. Breakfast was as good as a complimentary breakfast gets. Valet is expensive ($48 per night) but they use the same lot that is a public lot (way cheaper to self park). I would stay there again but the Hyatt is closer to the river and a room overlooking the river would be a lot quieter I believe.

Everytime i stay at a Holiday Inn there is always something thats not working. This time it was the elevator. All these people and only 1 elevator. What a complete disaster. The time before it was the pool, the time before that it was a hot tub. Now, if i checked in and was short 10$ because my wallet isnt working, you think they would let me slide??? Im done with all these tired, ill managed holiday inns with their constant things wrong or not working issues. Not to mention the poor attitude from your front desk. The front desk makes you feel like your a bother and they just want to get their speech out of they way as fast as they can, so they can get you out of their face. Never again will i frequent any Holiday Inn in any city or state. They are all the same.

Only one elevator worked and the other one made a loud shuttering noise when more than about three people were on it.
The valet parking ($48 per day) only had one attendant most of the time. The text that was supposed to tell them to retrieve our car told me it went through, but the valet never got it, then they told me I didn't use it correctly.

Staff was phenomenal - Wanda at the front desk was amazing! Room was pretty clean and rooftop was very cool. Location was perfect.

Very disappointed by the breakfast. Lots of offerings but fruit was gross and bruised. Bananas almost seemed like they had been frozen and thawed?

Gym was very small which is fine, but very dirty. The one yoga mat they had was old and thin, when I wiped it the wipe was brown.... Clearly never cleaned or replaced.

Then one of the elevators was broken the whole time and the one operational took forever, and it would make a loud noise and shake at the 4th floor. So it was packed with people Everytime and was very scary.

The rooftop pool/hot tub were great and the view from up there was exceptional! Beds/linens/pillows were very nice and comfy! The staff, bar, breakfast and location were also very good. Our only complaint was the handicapped bathroom. The shower curtain was ripped and too short which let water seep all over the floor. The tile was very slippery and took hours to dry since there is no ventilation. Also, no hooks or racks on the wall to hang your towels was really inconvenient. Overall a good place to stay, just need to fix the bathroom issues for the safety of their guests.

This was a prime location, park your car in the public parking garage beside the hotel. They use the same facility much cheaper. You won’t need it from that point you can walk everywhere. Room was clean. Bed was comfortable and the amenities were in good condition. Absolutely no issues with this hotel and I would recommend it and use it again.

Pool on the roof had an awesome view! We used public parking right next door and it wasn't very expensive. It's a great location for walking to main downtown attractions, shops, and dining. I'd definitely stay here again.

We arrived after a very long drive my husband I'm packed the car the valet took the car to go in and find out that they didn't have our room. They blamed Expedia because I booked through you but I got confirmations from them also they said the room was not guaranteed after 4:00 however their policy is that check-in is at 4:00. They did move us to another Holiday inn which was okay but the next day their water main broke and we had no water for about 10 hours

I reserved a room with pay at property through Expedia, I had an expired credit card attached to it so they cancelled my room without any notice. I received a check in confirmation email from Expedia the day before but was told at check in they canceled my room. No phone call or anything. Luckily they had another room available but be aware when booking “pay at property” as they consider these rooms available to others until you pay in full.

We stayed in the staybridge suites right before this and it was much nicer and newer. We booked a night here for the hot tub which was only about 95 degrees but perfect for our 3 year old since pools are freezing this time of year. Our room had a huge pink stain on the carpet and a broken outlet cover on the hallway wall. The beds were awful. When you sat on them, you sank right through the mattress and hit boards. Definitely time for an upgrade. We would have changed rooms for the bed quality but didn’t notice until late into the evening. Fine for 1 night but definitely wouldn’t stay again. Better choices in the area.
