Beds & pillows were very comfortable and actual queen size.
Breakfast was good quality. Sitting area was small but definitely manageable. I will definitely stay here again next time thru.
It was nice to see a fridge and microwave when many hotels are cutting back on these features. This was greatly appreciated with being 3+hrs from home and having kids, as well as being I travel semi-regularly for my work, this becomes a welcomed feature of a hotel. Thank you HIE/IHG.
Our room was on the second floor, all of the finishes and furniture look updated and very clean. Our room was great! Mini fridge, microwave and Keurig with coffee pods was a nice touch. Nice comfy king sized bed with good pillows and linens. Large bathroom had a tub/shower, plenty of linens and even a hair dryer. The room was fresh and clean, not stale, and not overly smelly from cleaners/air freshener type smells.
Breakfast the next morning was a super surprise. Katrina was the one who prepared breakfast and it was amazing! Biscuits and gravy, bacon and cheese omelets and they were really good. There was a ton of other food also, cinnamon rolls, scrambled eggs, a pancake machine and cereal plus more.
We didn’t dig into the other amenities that it had to offer there, but the basics that we used were perfect. We will definitely be back when we are in town again.


Betsy recognized us, asked if all going great by our last name, VIP treatment! Hot breakfast buffet server, Katrina, was very nice and did a great job. Marcinda, room maid, was nice, aware if covid rules and gave us towels and thanked us for long stay.
Nice pool. Another front desk clerk (maybe 50-60) and breakfast server (over 50) were also very friendly and good people too! This hotel is Excellent and would hire lots of them if I was not retired! We saw lots of areas cleaned and felt very safe. We are over age 65 and our first hotel stay since early 2020. We will be back!



Thankfully I was able to get the rate down to the actual cost of that room. Had I not asked I would have been billed 170$ for a 90$ room.
I have had such good luck with Holiday Inn. This was a supreme disappointment.

Highly recommended.
