We were visiting town for the Renaissance Dog Show and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The staff were consistently excellent, but Alex truly went above and beyond to make our stay wonderful. For example, he was happy to provide extra towels, accommodated our late check-out, and even offered a highchair for our room. We were always greeted with a warm welcome each time we came in!

Our experience at this holiday inn was absolutely incredible. They all were very friendly. We are from out of state and our first grandchild was being born. He had to have open heart surgery and the staff here was so amazing. Not only were they caring but sent us flowers and a beautiful card with words that were so comforting. With that being said, they made our stay memorable and felt like they were part of our family. A true blessing!
Sincerely,
Robie & Stacey Pruitt
