There was no information in the room about local places to eat. Also, the ‘easy’ chair was not comfortable. The room was pleasantly sizable, but could use some shelves or bigger vanity in the bathroom.

This hotel exceeded all of my expectations! Having stayed at many Holiday Inns across the country, I have to say this was the nicest one. The welcome cookies and lemonade were wonderful after a long day traveling! The hotel was quiet, had modern decor and very nice amenities. The little extras like a personal grooming kit in addition to the standard make up removal wipes was very thoughtful! The hotel used high end shampoo, conditioner and body lotion as well. The beds and pillows were extremely comfortable and I slept like a baby. Then the grand finale was the breakfast! Not just continental breakfast! They had healthy options like Greek yogurt. Bananas, apples. Oranges, a variety of cereals, big hot fresh cinnamon rolls. Cheesy omelets and potatoes as well as several meat options and a variety of good string coffee , decaf and several flavored teas and juices. They even had to go bags if you were in a hurry. Would most definitely stay here again!
