Overall I gave them 3 out of stars...Location is towards the top of a hill...Pay attention for the sign on the main hwy and you will be fine finding it...The parking is decent not the largest not the smallest...The room was pretty clean not the best not the worst...Only down for me was the service...I would consider the service on the lower side of everything...Just was sloppy and seemed when I had questions it was a burden for them to be answered...I would stay there again and give them a second chance...That is why I did a 3 star review!

I visited St. Mary’s to work at the local hospital and have stayed in Holiday Inn during my previous trips. This hotel is a little old and out dated but it was clean and welcoming. The staff were very friendly and helped me with any I needed including things that had nothing to do with the hotel like finding a ride, recommending places to eat and answering any question I might have. I’d like to mention that I came to St. Mary from Los Angeles and was worried about figuring my way out around town but upon arriving Anna and Nicky welcomed me and made me feel comfortable immediately. Needless to say if I was to return to St. Mary’s I will be staying here again.
