Very disappointed in this hotel. The breakfast is horrible, no Accommodations for diabetics or for lactose intolerant. Other Holiday inn does have sugar free syrup and oat milk, and fresh oatmeal this place you have to make your own oatmeal which sucked. Also, upon arrival come to find out they’re renovating the swimming pool so we couldn’t even go swimming the four days that we were here!!! A lot of other holiday ends meet expectations of people who are lactose and diabetics. I’ve been impressed with a lot of holiday ends that have those expectations like I said again I’m very disappointed with this Holiday Inn and according to other reviews, this hotel has been renovations for a very long time, which I have not even seen anybody working on anything

Very clean hotel. Staff was very helpful.
Only stayed the one night.
Their Continental breakfast is decent with at least a turkey sausage option. I arrived late and they allowed us to check out later as well upon request.

Typical 3 star hotel - you get what you pay for. The bed was okay, not great. It was evident that my room had previously hosted a dog. The room was mostly clean, but I found a few dog hairs on the floor, and it just smelled like a dog had lived there. The breakfast was pretty decent, but Holiday Inn can do better at providing more gluten free and dairy free choices. At least one of the cereals offered could easily be GF (options could include Cheerios, Chex, Pebbles, and others).
I was disappointed that the front desk didn't allow me a late checkout. They wouldn't even discuss it. "We can't do that." Strange. As an IHG rewards member for decades, I've been able to get late checkouts when needed all over the world. I guess not in Vernal, Utah though.
