Reviews and Ratings
My stay at the hotel was quite satisfying. The room was decently priced and served our needs, but it lacked a mini-refrigerator. The breakfast consisted of a simple Jimmy Dean sandwich, an apple, and a bottle of water. The non-functioning overhead light in the bathroom was a bit inconvenient.
I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The rooms were clean and comfortable, but the breakfast was disappointing with a packaged sandwich. The staff was friendly but not very attentive to all guests. The location was peaceful with a nice view, and the dining could have been better with more variety at a fair price.
My stay at the Holiday Inn was overall pleasant, with a few minor drawbacks. The location was convenient near restaurants and shopping, and the room quickly cooled off once the heating was turned off, but being on the top floor had some noise from the rooftop equipment.
