  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    Air conditioning was poor and no hot water in morning

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    Nice hotel, clean and comfortable. Easy and safe parking.

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    The service and amenities here are 200% awesome. The only reason for a less than 5 star review is the bathroom needs some maintenance. Otherwise this hotel is perfect.

    We definitely will stay here again! The hotel is in a nice location downtown. The room was clean and well lit. The bedding was comfortable and the breakfast was very good. The staff was friendly and helpful. The only negative was that the room was a little humid. We couldn't seem to get the humidity out of the air. It wasn't uncomfortable enough to complain, but we would probably ask about it next time.

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    Clean, attractive and friendly staff! Breakfast was great and so was the bed. Taylor on the front desk was especially helpful and nice and both Richards were the airport shuttle drivers who made the trip pleasant. Coffee cart did not have the option of real cream or milk. The artificial and high sugar coffee creamers are terrible!

    Location Room was a little smelly and the stone on the exterior of the building was all falling off.

  • Engine customer May 2026

    Hotel was very clean, breakfast was good, staff was friendly.

  • Engine customer May 2026

    The hotel was everything a person could ask for: very helpful staff and a clean environment. The only thing I can say, which the hotel cannot help, is that the walls are so thin. You can hear other doors opening and closing across the hallway. The people above us were very loud on our first night, but the second night was nice and quiet. I would stay at a Holiday Inn in the future.
