Unless you plan on getting up at 4:30am pass on this hotel. The trash truck arrived at 4:26am and had a field day slamming the trash can for about 5 minutes. Violently woke everyone up I spoke to at breakfast. This hotel needs to manage their waste removal company.
The beds sit on what feels like cardboard bed frames, typical in some Holiday Inn’s. If you’ve tried to sleep on them they either creek with every movement or sound like they’re collapsing from underneath you.
Some Holidays Inn’s are wonderful, sadly this one is off my list.

Pool was nice and warm and our swim suits did not stink of chlorine the next day. (Saltwater pool?) Loved that. Breakfast is perfect for our sweet lovers and savory lovers. Biscuits and gravy, eggs, pancakes, cereal, pastries and tea and coffee. Only negative is you may hear highways noises.

I had a great stay here. It's right off the highway and easy to get back on the road. The room was nice and clean. I had a trailer with me and I had plenty of room to park it. The only thing I didn't like was the cable and surfing through the channels. Other than that. Great comfortable stay.
