Very nice and quiet stay. The front desk staff at check-in were great and the breakfast was good. It was very convenient to the university and the discount at Applebees was a nice touch. I’d definitely stay again if in the area.

Okay place but not worth $200 a night after all the fees and the Wi-Fi didn't even work. You're better off just getting an Airbnb for like a hundred to $120 would be a much much nicer place. The breakfast is subpar like cafeteria food.

Over all a pretty good experience!! The hotel staff are all super nice! Good water pressure, room is very nice with a mini fridge, microwave, shampoo/conditioner, hand soap and lotion in the bathroom. Lots of space for storage and a desk. The hotel has a pool, hot tub and small gym. The olyptical screen does not work but it is okay! It was still nice to have options. AC worked great as well.
There is quite a few options near by for food and shopping. Walmart is maybe 4 minutes down the road. Krogers is maybe 2 minutes. Applebees is connected to the parking lot of the hotel. Its in walking distance as quick option. The hotel also offers some discounts with certain restraunts! (What a nice perk)
We brought our dog with us! Over all it was nice. We saw a few other dogs here too. The staff was happy to see him and pet him. The dog park is beside the hotel behind the community pool and skate park. There is a good amount of grass behind the hotel too.
The only downside is being able to hear the neighbors kids stomping, jumping off furniture, running up and down the hall so much. 😬 Thats just how it is being in a hotel though lol. Thats not the hotels fault.

If kindness were Olympic sport,
Donna would take gold, silver, and still have time to refill the yogurt.
Holiday Inn, please protect this treasure at all costs —
and maybe give her a crown… or at least unlimited muffins. 👑🧁
10/10 service, 5 stars, and one very happy, well-fed guest!
