This is now called the Liyo Inn (which may be included in with the Holiday Inn family or some other…read moregiant hotel chain corporation). But here is the low down. There was lots of free parking, but nothing right near the door as the parking lot is off to the side. The upper parking lot looked scary as it had a few abandon tailor containers.
The out side dining area in the front looked appealing (though being winter, the area was not open to use).
The entry way was clean , modern and welcoming (a large modern beautiful chandelier was hanging from above). Check in was easy and staff generally nice.
The rugs in some hall ways were newer but buckled up in area, and rippled. Some roof areas we looked down upon had fake grass carpeting but it was all torn up in chunks and looked hideous (they need to get up there and just pull it all off!).
The room was nice, comfortable, clean, and easy to regulate the heat. The interior was updated too. The view was nice too of trees and a hill of homes in the distance. The bed was very plush and made for a good nights sleep. It was very quiet all night as well. The bath room was clean and had updated features too. However, the little shelves in the shower just ruined the whole make over of that area. They were installed or re-installed with some yellow glue that was not cleaned up properly and looked like a mess on the shower walls. At first I thought it was a ton of mold (but thank gosh it wasn't! See photo).
The pool on the 2nd floor was enjoyable. It was a salt water pool and the temperature was perfect. They had plenty of clean towels to use at the pool site too, but they were rather small. The area around it was general set up well (looked like a good party area) and for the most part clean. However, there were areas that were chipping, pealing, and in need of some repairs. The live plants around the area looked like they had never been watered and were bunched away in a corner. In addition, some super large dirt filled planters were just filled with dirt and no plants (they could at least place some fake ones in them and not have to worry about watering!!). There were other activities to do in the pool area too (pool tables, a digital juke box and an electronic game). However, the game was turned off, juke box wouldn't play (even though it was on), and the pool table was missing some balls. The worst part was that the lights above the pool tables hadn't been cleaned in a very long time (see photo), gross! The bar on the first floor was nice, not too noisy and a friendly employee working there.
In the morning we had a difficult time at the breakfast area attempting to get spoons to eat with. Had to go to the front desk finally to ask for some. The free breakfast was minimal but fine (cold cereal, stale English Muffins, yogarts, apples, OJ). Check out was easy too. However, later on when I read the receipt, it was a different price than what I reserved the room for on line. Cheaper, but still not what I booked it for. But after I checked my charge card statement I saw that they did charge me the higher rate! Just waiting to see if they ALSO charged me a second time on this months charge card bill. We shall see.
