I haven't stayed at a Holiday in, in YEARS since back in the day, when they were super popular!…read more
We were having a Family Reunion in Memphis therfore, my Cousin booked this hotel for everyone who came into town. I actually ended up with better rates by booking on my own, but it was still nice of him to do.
This location is AWESOME as it's literally near a mall and many stores and restaurants. The area appears to be safe!
The front desk dude had swag and was very professional. He was dressed like a celebrity... very elegant.
Kuddos to hiring such nice , professional and well dressed staff.
I was happy to see that, I was able to check in, after arriving so late in the night.
I usually, always stay on the very top floor of hotels however, they were completely booked that weekend which was a Holiday weekend.
Although, I was on a lower floor, I was still high up, and still had a good view. It was pouring rain out but, it was still nice to watch from my window with a view.
The outside of the hotel is well maintained as well as, had nice landscape.
The inside was also very clean. I like the restaurant/ bar area inside of the hotel as the employee there, was also very friendly.
I personally thought that, the hallways of the hotel itself, could use a deep cleaning and airfreshners since, there's an indoor pool which, caused the chlorine smell to travel.
It doesn't help that, humans are dripping wet in the elevators going to their rooms.
The rooms are decent and the beds were OK except for, I'm not a fan of the headboards being plastered into the walls. I like that the linens were super clean and fresh.
The bathrooms are very dated but not gross.
The shower head was great as the water pressure was perfect! I loved that they had hot water that literally stayed hot the entire time of showers.
All was going well, up until my departure when I was walking out of the room, bags in tow.... when suddenly, I looked up, to go turn the lamp over the bed off, and there was a critter crawling on the wall...OMG thank God...I was walking out and headed to the airport, when I seen that critter, otherwise, I would've freaked out and slept in my rental car or gone to another hotel.
Sheesh ...God was with me there!!!
Sadly, I wouldn't return because of the critter, but that's just me as, I'm not used to sleeping with critters in the facility.
My recommendation:
I'd invest in spraying effective " IMMEDIATELY"!!!
PARKING was limited because all of the covered parking was blocked off, for some reason.
The front desk celebrity guy, allowed for me to park in the cuddle in the front of the hotel, which was nice of him.
The hotel has security driving around which is awesome since I arrived so late and she was literally right where she could see me, parking and going into the hotel. Thanks madam
Overall, had I not seen that critter, I was honestly gonna recommend staying here but, I'll leave it up to you!
The hotel wasn't infested with critters but that 1 critter was enough for me to not return.
