10/10 Exceptional

Our experience was wonderful. We met Brittany at the front desk and absolutely loved her hospitality, patience, and kindness. She took the time to write down all the interesting places to visit, which we truly appreciated. The information and suggestions she provided were incredibly helpful in choosing the right places to explore and enjoy our trip. The hotel is very clean and offers excellent service. We love it!

6/10 Good

The staff was friendly, and rooms were clean but very cramped lights in the restroom didn’t fully work room service was not offered, nor were fresh towels. We stayed on the second floor guests above us were so loud it was hard to even watch TV the The location of the hotel is not in the best of neighborhoods.

Horrible breakfast! Room only had 2 bath towels in it and the chairs in the room had some sort of liquid all over it. This had to be the least clean holiday inn we have ever stayed at.
