No choice 1/2025
The room was a room. Although when i pulled back the shower curtain there was a used, dried up wash cloth from a previous renter. Then being bored i started to look around there are some sorta skid markes in tub. Skid marks on the bathroom wall. Cob webs n extrime floor dust and dirt around every baseboard. There were cheese it cracker crumbs on floor, No, i have not eaten any they were not cleaned up. I know Holiday Inn prides their self on cleanliness, but site manager needs to do pop up expections, to regulate.

The need better sofa beds.
We reserved 2 queens months in advance and got a king with pull out sofa. The sofa bed was too small for 2 adults and the mattress too thin (laying on the crossbar not great).
