Summary: it was my son's 13th birthday and we were going to the hotel to use the beautiful pool area but when we got to the hotel and we're checking in the guy told us that the pool was under repair and was closed and so we were very disappointed and decided that we probably wouldn't just cancel the reservation and go to a hotel where we can use the pool as I was in my car trying to cancel the reservation the guy actually walked all the way out to my car to tell me he talked to the general manager and that the pool was okay to use and that they would be very kindly to open it and let us go ahead and enjoy our evening .I'm not sure the guy's name I think it was Thomas but he went above and beyond anything he had to do and made us feel right at home I would recommend this place to anyone they're awesome !the only thing I must say is the bathroom is extremely small and I'm a little claustrophobic and I don't like that but other than that everything else was great

Summary: We usually stay at the holiday inn across the street but after looking at the cow palace website we seen they offered a good breakfast with cream Brielle French toast etc. we booked cow palace due to it being redone. The hotel didn’t serve French toast when we asked the front desk they said they needed to update the website that they haven’t served French toast in a long time. It was disapointing and our kiddo was upset.the breakfast was mediocre. False advertisement. The pool was under construction and not useable. We stayed in a suite and the neighbors kids ran up and down the patio area being loud until midnight then once that stopped the adults were pounding on the doors etc of their room. Not very insulated for a suite we heard everything from next door. The staff was great and polite. We will continue to stay at the holiday inn as their pool is always working and their breakfast is always on point.

Summary: Desk clerk at check-in was very friendly and helpful. Room was clean and free breakfast was fresh.

Summary: The room is spacious and really well decorated. The front staff was nice when i checked in, but the pool and hot tub were closed for repairs or something which was why we picked this hotel. That was really frustrating. There is no elevator either. What really made me upset was that they charged me $12 more than what hotels.com showed as my all in price with taxes. So paying more and getting less is not okay.
Mary Jul 19, 2025 08:21:42 AM
Summary: Check in was fast and quick. Room was clean but humid. Bed was comfortable but firm. Pillows were great. Water pressure was okay, not bad but not amazing. Actual layout of the bathroom was weird. Shower and toilet were in same small room and the shower didn't have a ledge or anywhere to put toiletries. Ended up having to use toilet tank as a shelf which meant lots of water on the floor. Created a potential slip and fall problem. Shower was huge but again no shelf or ledge.
