Upon checkin, we had some confusion with the names that out reservation was held under. The front desk clerk was not kind or helpful at all. After we figured out a solution (only after we made several suggestions), we checked into our rooms, only to be greeted by a musty smell so bad, it took our breath away. There had been storms in the area before we arrived, which probably caused the smell, but it was so bad, that we considered changing hotels and were surprised the hotel had remained open in this condition. During our stay, there were several other concerns and frustrations. At one point the hot water didnt work, one of our rooms did not have a working safety lock, the showers did not have a place to set toiletries (I used a towel on the back of the toilet to set items), and our rooms were not all cleaned daily. We have stayed in Holiday Inns many times throughout the country, and this was our first bad experience. We would not return to this location, as this was not a good experience.
