Holiday Inn

Keep on going! We were headed home from a 2 week road trip and this was the most convenient Holiday Inn (we are rewards members so wanted this brand) along our route. I went to check in and they were hosting a large group in a banquet room, and there were members of a flight crew in the lobby...which seemed like good signs to me. However, the room we got was "around back", which looked like a creepy run down 70's motel. The grass was dead, the parking lot had random cars playing music or sitting in the far back end doing goodness knows what, the basketball court was in shambles and the backboard was set too low, the steps were horrid looking and need redone, the paint was worn off the door, the carpet was dirty in the stairwell, our door lock was rusty, the wi-fi would not stay connected, the windows were full of spider webs and dirt, the AC unit was full if dust and I had to wash the filter (which looked like it had never been done), the beds don't fit the frames and slide around, the bedskirts were upside down and too big for these mattresses, the shower was dirty, the bathroom tile needs replacing,...I could go on. It was a tolerable stay, but as a rewards member and at $125+ $50 pet fee, it was absolutely a shame of a hotel. I would not stay here again!
