Staff were super friendly and helpful, easy to check in, parking was a breeze with paid parking at the hotel, 20 mins walking to honesuckle and theatre etc, new, clean, great selection buffet breakfast, room was clean, new facilities, loved that you got two pillows, one firm and one soft to choose from, mattress was nice and not warn out and lumpy, black out blinds. Lately every hotel I have stayed in has had noisy air conditioners, this one did not, so slept lovely! Definitely coming back.

Pluses- The room was a good size and quiet. The included breakfast was actually pretty good Minuses- The staff were a bit dismissive and disinterested. They told us many times at check in that the hotel was an “ express” not a full Holiday Inn” Their website says there is full dinner available which is misleading! We were told to use the QR code in our room to view the menu and order but it didn’t work. We ordered via the room phone and they called us when it was ready but it is served in take away boxes!! Also very expensive- we ordered a pizza at $30 and it was the tiniest pizza I’ve seen!
