Just OK.
This hotel has seen its better days. It could still be quite good if someone was assigned to clean up around the entrance area - there was a lot of trash and debris all around the entrance, not a good first impression. The dining area is under construction just as you enter the hotel. Room was dated, small TV. Could be better.

Hotel was kind of dated. Peeling paint , peeling ceiling , dated carpet. It’s not terrible but it’s seen better days. Breakfast was not good. The front desk young lady was awesome!

Meh.
The lady who checked us in acted like we were inconveniencing her personal phone call. Gave us no information. The carpets in the public areas were disgusting. The hot tub was closed with no explanation. Housekeeping came super early even though we were checking out, and hadn’t checked out yet. Knocked 3 times, each time with us telling them we would be out at 9:30. The guy who checked us out was super nice, though.

Customer service at the desk was not very friendly or helpful. She wasn’t necessarily rude, she just wasn’t a great person to put at the front desk to greet people and make them feel welcomed. Room was meh. Door was loud and made a loud sound every time you opened/closed it. Bathroom was meh, didn’t feel dirty but also didn’t feel clean and comfortable to be in. For the price, you kind of get what you pay for I suppose.
The area seemed to have a decent amount of food and entertainment surrounding the hotel though they may be difficult to walk to from the hotel due to where the crosswalks are.

Proximity to six flags is keeping this hotel afloat.
Shabby carpet. Chipped furniture. Jerry rigged shower in room 248. Unable to control temperature of water. I reserved an accessible walk in shower but did not receive one. Staff had holes in their clothes. Unprofessional dress code. Hair not in keeping with hospitality standards. Exit door locked, which is a Fire code violation. Holiday Inn should revoke their franchise at this location or completely overhaul it.
