I recently stayed here 3 separate times within the last 3 weeks to help care for my Daddy. The front desk staff was beyond amazing and very, very kind. Though lovely gal Jess gave me a list of all peeps to thank, my scatterbrain can't keep them straight, but she, Anna, and Russel were the folks I saw the most coming and going. I felt they ALL were my "friends" while there when I needed to talk...they kindly listened. Jess even surprised me with a suite upgrade during my last stay, and I felt humbly grateful...still do.
Art the maintenance fellow was awesome and kind as well.
This hotel is blessed with an attentive, friendly staff including the breakfast and wonderful housekeeping folks. I slept like a rock in my lovely room(s), and will not hesitate to stay again. Quiet, safe parking, all good. Thanks, guys. Pam ❤️

I had to wait 30 minutes for the front desk person to return from his break and there was no one else available to check me in. When he returned, he told me he always leaves for break around 6-7pm and I just shouldn’t expect to be able to check in around that time. I told him I was surprised the front desk would be unattended and a different Holiday Inn employee standing next to us told me there were plenty of other hotels nearby I should stay at instead. Message received!
