Mike at the front desk at night is courteous and has a great sense of humor! He goes above and beyond in customer service. I will continue to stay here when I’m in town for work because of the great service he provides. The rooms are clean. The property is beautiful and is a step above the other IHG hotels I’ve stayed in. I ended up having to come here due to another Holiday Inn that I normally stay at was fully booked. I will now always stay here going forward when I’m in town.

$250 a night for this? See my photos. The housekeepers can’t even make the bed right. Do not recommend, there was a disgusting shower mat in the shower that needs to be removed.. it felt slimy like they never cleaned it. Rooms need serious updating and cleaning, especially the windows. I’m being generous with my 2 stars.
