    I was approved for a late checkout at noon. The night manager decided to show me checked out. When I left for my appointment & returned, I couldn't get back in. All my things were locked inside the room. Asked for a 6 am wakeup call. They did not call until 7 am, so almost late to appointment. Didn't have time to shower nor get breakfast first.

    It's a nice hotel. The rooms were nice and clean. I can't say much about the service since my only contact is at check in and out. The breakfast was below average

    Needed a room last minute, and Holiday Inn came to the rescue. As always, the best customer service. We were greeted with a smile, and she helped with dinner options close to the room. Very comfortable beds with the perfect pillows. The A/C was so cold I had to turn it up. It was great. Breakfast was delicious, eggs, sausage, and seasoned potatoes. Added a couple of pancakes on the side, and I was stuffed. The parking lot was lit up and felt very secure. As an IHG member, I frequently visit Holiday Inn's, and this one is very nice.

    Excellent place to stay that is affordable, clean, family friendly, and acceptable standards if expectations. Room was good. No issues. Breakfast was adequate and not bad. Spa was over chlorinated. We were there only one night so not sure if this is a long-term issue or a one-time issue. Daytime staff was friendly.

    Hotel was clean,room a bit small,but overall was happy with my stay. Ice machine,I never did find, and it was a pain to have to use key card to go in and out of pool. Hands were full of stuff so using card to exit was tricky. Breakfast was a good continental breakfast. It was better than any other I've had. My one complaint would be that the front desk clerk acted as if she was giving up her LAST PERSONAL pool towel when you asked for one. And you had to ask for one, dont use the room towel for the pool. Not sure what would happen, but it was apparent that it was bad. Lol.
