Truly grand hotel......30 years ago
I got a free 2 night stay here by a promotional deal so we did not have to pay. Upon entering the lobby, it was truly grand when it was built in 79 but is now very very outdated. It was one of the most grand lobbies I ever seen but the decor was very 70s and in desperate need of updating. They are advertising as under remodeling as Wyndham hotel chain just bought this old Holiday Inn. The remodeling seems to be just some basic fixtures installed by staff, not professionals. We had a remodeled room. Whoever hung the towel racks must have downed a bottle of whiskey first. It was so crooked it was comical!!
The place was clean but the overwhelming smell of old mustiness was not pleasant. The entire place, in the rooms and the hallways just smelled like the inside of an antique store. Not completely foul but just not pleasant. They were playing this horrific pop noise that teenagers call music all through the very large facility. That needs to cease as an older crowd was always present. There were dozens of conference rooms, all busy with business people. 
Everything was clean. Service was very good when we needed anything. Staff was very good and friendly. There is a nice restaurant in the lobby. We did not eat there but some one told us it was very good. Breakfast is all you can eat buffet $6.95 but a menu is available too. Entry to the facility is tricky due to the disastrous construction going on the highway. Overall experience was ok. New carpeting throughout would likely rid that old smell and this place would be awesome. New carpeting may well be in the future plans.
