Hotel was close to Hollywood Casino, however, there was no hot water the first day. You also could not control the temperature in your room. There was a sign posted in the room that said to call the front desk if you needed to adjust the thermostat. I was told there was no hot water because the hotel was booked to capacity as if that was an acceptable excuse. No offer to comp or even reduce the night's stay despite the uncomfortable conditions.

Extremely disappointed, showed up at 10:30 pm toilet paper was used, tissues were used. We found a white pill on the floor I searched the room to make sure there was nothing more and flushed it! I reported all of this the next morning where I was told I should have reported that night! We drove 4 hours and had three kids. The indoor pool was not heated the next day and we were not told the hotel was under construction. Very upset and dissatisfied!

Was here for a banquet. The food was absolutely great! As were the servers there. Went after to check in, as check in time was 4pm and it was 4:30 but never got a room until 5:40. The bed was clean, the trash cans had new bags but there was debris all over the floors. I wasn't calling the front desk bc of how little they cared about actually getting me into a room I paid for and just kept saying I have to wait! Never again! I only stayed here because of the banquet. I will happily drive elsewhere after an event then ever stay in another holiday inn.

Beyond being outdated, there was black mold in the shower, multiple spiders crawling in the shower and sink, there were crumbs in the pullout sofa bed, and the heating/cooling system made the loudest humming noise that would only stop when the system was completely turned off.

The staff was friendly but i could barely understand what he was saying. They are in the progress of updating and used the pictures of the updated rooms to advertise. That wa misleading. My was was very outdated. It had cracks and holes. Visible stains on the furniture. A small tv. And all i heard all night was traffic outside.

It looks like they are getting ready to start renovations. They should not be rent out ANY rooms with in the deplorable conditions of the rooms. My room looked like someone with animals had lived in the room. Lampshades broken, carpet pulled up, stained, and bubbling, furniture with huge scratches and gouges. It was not in condition to rent out!

Not worth the price, but still okay
You can see they are working on remodeling the hotel, updated key entry for rooms and building, fresh paint, but the rooms still need work, shower/tub is dated and needs some major updates. I don't see how this place is on average a $120 plus a night hotel with the current state of the rooms.
