Nice weekend

Or stay there was great. They let us check in early, with no fee. The room is clean. They are doing remodeling on part of the hotel, but the rest of it was great. The staff was nice. I was a little disappointed in the breakfast, as we came down at 8:00 and most everything was empty. But otherwise it was a great stay. Very convenient, easy to get to

Pool and Gym closed

The room was clean, the shower was powerful, hot and modern. Our king bed was comfortable, the couch and chairs were not - stiff and uncomfortable. Desk chair sloped down. So no good place to sit other than on the bed. Our big disappointment was finding the hotel under construction with pool and gym closed. Had we known in advance, we would have booked elsewhere. We did find a YMCA and paid $25 to use their gym and pool.

Clean and comfy. The hotel location was close to many places to shop and eat. At the hotel the staff was friendly and there was hot coffee available. I think there was a remodel in progress, but you would not know that anything was going on. Breakfast was great!

Another good stay at Holiday Inn

I was staying here while helping my family move to the local area. Hotel is nice but is under construction. Several facilities like the pool were not available. But that didn't really affect me. The hotel was very nice and the service was top notch.
