Middle of a 15 hour drive, with 4 kids. We needed enough room for us all! We found this place at a good location and price. The front desk employee was so kind at check in. There are activities for kids close by.

Close to I-64. Rooms were clean. Most of the staff was friendly. I do wish they wouldn’t allow people to smoke at the front door. Even housekeeping was smoking at the front door.
I guess they also only serve bacon on Tuesdays?? We were here a few nights and the first morning we had bacon and biscuits… no oatmeal although there was a warmer for one. They also had a pancake station but I saw no batter. Why not serve everything every morning?
Also, it’s October and they have an indoor pool but it’s not heated. We planned to partake but put my feet on the first step in the water and got right back out. It was ice cold.

My recent stay at the Holiday Inn was absolutely wonderful, and it's all thanks to the fantastic team there. From the moment I checked in, the staff, under the expert guidance of their manager, Kristin, made me feel incredibly welcome. The level of service and genuine friendliness from everyone, from the front desk to the housekeeping team, was truly outstanding.
A huge shout-out to Kristin, who clearly leads by example. Her warm and professional demeanor ensures that everything runs smoothly and that guests are well taken care of. Her commitment to a high-quality guest experience shines through in her entire staff.
The complimentary breakfast was a standout feature, with a wide variety of options that went well beyond the standard fare. There was plenty to choose from, with fresh, hot items and healthy choices to get the day started right. It was delicious and a great added value.
For those traveling by car or trucks , the abundant and easy-to-access parking was a major convenience. There was no hassle finding a spot, which made coming and going stress-free.
Overall, this Holiday Inn offers a true sample of excellent hospitality, and I can't recommend it enough. We will certainly be back on our next trip
