- MMMark MaxwellOct 14, 20254.0Everything you expect at an IHG.
- BHBarbara HickmanOct 3, 20255.0We enjoyed this experience! Staff was friendly and room was spotless! We were there only one night and did not use the pool, the workout room or the hot tub.
- JHjon heltonSep 13, 20255.0Maybe a misunderstanding but I was told from a different location (because the first location was booked )that I could cancel a reservation if needed. when I called to cancel because I was only 2 1/2 hours from home. I was told I couldn’t because it was after the cut off time of 6 PM, but I didn’t make the reservation until 7:20 PM that night. Was hung up on 35 minutes into a phone call when they were searching for an answer from the manager.
- JPJoseph PowellSep 7, 20255.0I travel quite often and I would have to say this is a great place to stay. Friendly staff. Amazing cinnamon rolls and a beautiful heated indoor pool.
