"Booked two rooms: one double twin room and one family room. The family room's top bunk bed was full of tiny hairs. The family room's bathroom also smelled like sewer when we went in. Not all staff were helpful.When I told them about smell they acted like they didn't understand it. I just didn't have any choice nearby. The Holiday Inn was sold out, and this property is the closest one to a wedding I had to attend."
