Last minute overnight
We booked a last minute overnight here during a road trip. The hotel was very nice and clean - the only complaint was a hair on the shower floor along with a crack in the shower tub. Breakfast was excellent, and offered several options including healthier choices that most hotel breakfast's don't (egg white omelet and turkey sausage). We would definitely stay here again!

Dishonest
I had no problem with the stay, I had a big problem This Holiday inn wanted a $150.00 Deposit out side My room charge. The Lady at desk said I would get in back soon as I checked out. It's been 5days and I still hvnt. received My $150.00 deposit. I'm pissed upset and feel Ya'll are serious Stereo typing Ur guests. Bills are Here and Ya'll are still holding My $150.00 deposit. I asked her why so hi I never had to pay that much. It's always been $25.00 to $50.00. I guess ya'll only want rich people in ya Hotel huh? She said it's that high due to renovations. Why is that the customers issue and cost? I will share to ALL My friends and family and warm them of ya'll $150.00 deposit required...

Nice room/ weird policy’s
The hotel is great. The stay is great. The room is great. The policy for the $150 deposit is ridiculous. I stayed there four nights ago and I still haven’t received my deposit back..

We had an event to attend in Flowery Branch and another in Buford. The location was convenient for both events. The hotel was tucked away from the road, so we never heard any road noise. The staff was very helpful and friendly. Parking was easy, and we had arrived after 10pm. The room was very clean and the breakfast was very good. I would not hesitate to stay here again.

Great location… incredible service!
This hotel is located just off of the 985 with great access to Lake Lanier! The staff is incredible, from Jason to Jade to Juan who makes incredible breakfasts every morning! Not your typical Holiday Inn!!!
