Great location. Room spacious and clean. Bed and pillows very comfortable. Staff friendly. We didn’t use any amenities. I wish breakfast went until 10 especially for a Sunday. It was done by 9:30 so we didn’t get a chance to eat at the hotel before getting on the road.

Selected this hotel because we could get a 1 bedroom suite with 2 queen beds, which met our family's needs. The staff were great, very friendly and helpful. The room was a bit worn and had window-units for air conditioning but was clean, and the beds were comfortable and had nice soft sheets. The elevators made strange noises but we never got stuck. :)

The breakfast had little to choose from. Always want the cinnamon buns. There was one left at 8 am. Asked the worker if she had any and she said all out, maybe some will be here tomorrow. Should have tons of those. Every Holiday Inn goes thru the cinnamon buns. Lack of management is my guess. My husband did not have breakfast. When we got there I wanted a hot chocolate, had hot water, no chocolate packets. The bed was uncomfortable as well as the pillows. The streets around the hotel boarded up were run down. Very little to see. The historic statutes were all taken down. Would not go back. Had to pay for parking $20 a day. We left a day early and moved on.
