Long Creek Hotel by IHG

8/10 Good

"The hotel is being renovated but the property is maintained well. Overall the hotel was in a good location near the highway and a mall. Unfortunately our room smelled really bad and they weren’t able to switch us to a different room or provide any Febreze to try and eliminate the odor. They did compensate me with points though. Breakfast was average and wasn’t stocked very quickly. Felt like they were short staffed."
