    Another nice stay at a Holiday Inn. The front desk staff were very helpful and accommodating. The room was very comfortable and clean. I like staying here partly for the pancake maker in the breakfast area. Like I said, we always have a pleasant stay at Holiday Inn.

    For being a gold member, I could not believe how rude the lady was at the front desk , especially in Iowa. I was not expecting rude service and I was trying. To get the information for the right credit card and told her that people behind me could go ahead of me and she said oh no, they can wait. If I was the boss I would fire her, not the way I would want my company represented.
