Good but not perfect.
Quite a bit of space and very clean. The beds were comfortable but very high. We literally had to jump up to get on them and I, at least, had to be careful betting off. There was one chair in the room some distance from the TV. It would be nice to have a desk chair on casters so that a person could watch the news in the morning without having to jump back in bed. There is plenty of room for another chair.

I booked two rooms on Hotels.com when I arrived, the facility said that they only had one room for me. Currently, I am being charged for two rooms. The Holiday Inn said I had to go through Expedia. No one has responded to my text inquiry yet.

The staff were so nice and helpful! We were arriving super late and asked for the A/C to be turned down before our arrival and they were more than happy to oblige. The room was super clean and the beds were comfy too! Would definitely stay here again!

We were excited to come here for the UT vs Alabama game but quickly disheartened by the room we booked here. To begin the front desk assistant announced our room number. Then we walked in the room and it smells like urine and smoke. The bathroom sink is separated from the bathroom, so it does not have a vanity. The sheets were too short, and the window curtains do not close so that the streetlight shines in the room all night. The second day we left early and we’re gone for more than 11 hours. When we came back, there was no housekeeping, overflowing trashcan, no clean towels, no coffee or tea, and at $400 per night plus tax we should’ve had stellar service. The electricity turned off in the middle of the night and the hotel, blames it on a storm that did not occur. The hall lights and other room lights were on . Now the management is stating they will not provide any type of refund or discount because we should have told them we wanted housekeeping. We were not told at check-in that we needed housekeeping. The IHG Clean Policy says nothing about requiring a request for cleaning
