    I had an incredible stay at this Holiday Inn. My room was spacious, clean, modern and the bed was super comfy. Rene at the front desk went above and beyond to make my stay as comfortable and convenient as possible

    My daughter and I stayed at this Holiday Inn and Suites location one night and were very happy with everything! Thanks to Rosario, our room was immaculate and welcoming.😊 The in-room fridge and coffee maker worked perfectly and were appreciated. Excellent value for the reasonable price! Will definitely book with Holiday Inn and Suites again!

    Nice hotel for an overnight stay. Room is clean and stocked (thank you Marce!), and the chocolates were a nice treat. I unknowingly had booked the same room twice. The front desk noticed immediately and corrected it for me. Thank you!

    I stayed here for 3 nights while on a business trip. Great location, at a reasonable pricec. The staff was friendly and helpful, and the free breakfast had several options. A special shout-out to Jennifer who cleaned and prepped the room I stayed in. The welcome bag and mints in the room is a nice little touch! I will be back !
