Very Good

Overnight stay, with family the staff was great-but room ac sounds like you are in middle of a runway, loud motor- shower slippery and the shower and bath spout shoots water at same time- room had a slight muggy smell.
Checkin was just ok, cookies were good, room was good. Bed was comfortable but I didn’t sleep well because of the road noise from I35. Breakfast was great.
We had a good stay at the Holiday Inn. Our room was nice and clean. For the most part it was quiet. With the road construction it was hard to see but, nevertheless we found it. LOL
Busy hotel. The room had a strang musty smell and the ac wasn't great but worked okay. Breakfast was really good. Loved the pancake machine. Staff was awesome too.
The room was clean and quiet. It was a very enjoyable stay

Would definitely recommend and stay again
I was visiting a family member in the hospital unexpectedly and this hotel was conveniently located and well priced. Every employee that I interacted with was extremely pleasant! The bed was very comfortable and the room was clean and well sized.
I have no complaints about this property. Everything was nice tidy clean, and breakfast was good.

Liked: Staff & service
Disliked: Cleanliness
Wouldn’t recommend!! The tv didn’t work at first (but they did fix it fast and efficiently), the heater didn’t work without making the fire alarm go off, there was hair like someone shaved there face/body in the shower before even using it, the shower took forever to get warm it also was incredibly hard to pull the tab to change it from a bath to a shower had to wrap a towel around it and use all my strength, the floors were sticky, and I left after seeing TWO different cockroaches crawl out the sink!!! Would not recommend… only plus side was the staff was friendly and helpful.
Everyone was really nice & informative. They answerred any and all of my questions, I had DOVE in the room to use at my disposal which is a plus and the breakfast was hot & plentiful every morning! My only complaint is the parking, its literally not enough spaces. But dont let that overshadow anyone from coming, this place was very clean.
