“Needs some upkeeping and repair”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed October 9, 2012

We stayed here in two bed rooms only for one night on a rewards night (not sure that it should make a difference), but we had a platinum membership. The rooms each had a musty smell to them, not sure if it was because the AC was not on. But even after the AC being on for a while, the room still smelled. We stayed in a king room and it clearly was missing a couch or something because on the far end of the room, it was just a table and two chairs and a big empty space. My wife peeked in one of the other rooms, and they had a sofa sleeper in there room. Not sure if it was because the one in ours was ruined or what.

As a previous reviewer stated, there is no mini fridge or microwave. There was also only one ice machine on site. The breakfast was sub par, and right at 9:30 - it was shut off. I normally don't complain about places I stay and figured this was just a "holiday inn express," but staying in another one in a different smaller town further north (Hiawassee) - it was night and day. We only stayed here because the one in Hiawassee was booked out.

“A great hotel with the -- Best Manager”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed October 8, 2012

We stayed at this Holiday Inn Express. It was very nice, clean.
The staff was the best.
I want to tell you that the Hotel Manager Diane Moore was great. We wanted for nothing.
She was there when we woke up to when we went to bed.
Her breakfast was great, hot & well planed. The pan cakes maker was also great.
We will be there next year.

“Always a great stay!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed October 8, 2012

We are in Dahlonega at least once year for a reunion (for the past 6 years now). We love the Holiday Inn there. Diane, the manager, has been and continues to be very helpful, friendly and professional. She has, on more than one occasion, gone 'above and beyond' to help resolve any issue that we or others we know have had (none of which could be attributed to her or her staff).

Oh, and by the way, I've heard her speak to the staff, and I didn't notice any attitude at all. She spoke in her usual soft and calm voice and simply asked questions and gave directions; which is what is expected of a manager.

The rooms are clean and comfortable and the public area is well-kept.

Room Tip: We always as for 3rd floor, mountain view.

“another great stay in Dahlonega”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed October 1, 2012

We had a wonderful initial stay in Dahlonega in the fall of 2011 and couldn't wait to return this fall. We were greeted again this time with a smile and even an early check-in. Dianne, the manager, went above and beyond to get us in a room as I had waited too long to call to request a room. Good food, a clean room and a happy staff will bring us back again. Must be a great place - it was booked waaaay in advance. Thanks again, Dianne!

Room Tip: Be sure to request a room on the side overlooking the college spire! The view is spectacular.

“The best property in the area”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed October 1, 2012

I go to Dahlonega every week as a consultant to the University, and always stay at the Holiday Inn Express. I have stayed at other properties in Dahlonega, and there is no comparison. The front desk staff is competent, professional and caring. The rooms are very quiet; the beds are comfortable; and the free wi-fi is great!

Room Tip: The mountain view rooms are great.
