Cathy at the front desk made our stay exceptional from the very first interaction. She was welcoming, professional, and genuinely kind, making us feel valued and at ease right away. Cathy handled our reservation efficiently, answered all our questions with patience, and went above and beyond to ensure everything was perfect for our stay.
Her attention to detail, positive attitude, and willingness to help truly set her apart. It’s rare to encounter someone who combines efficiency with such warmth and excellent customer service. Cathy is a true asset to Holiday Inn, and because of her, we would absolutely choose to stay here again. Thank you, Cathy, for such a wonderful experience!
