Close to freeway but quieter than some right next to freeway. Decent restaurant selection 5-10 mn into town. Great for dogs, plenty of grassy areas to walk and do their business.

Overall not terrible, but not the best HIE we’ve stayed at. The hot tub in the pool area had some nasty green foam all over it. Room was very humid, fresh towels felt damp. Staff was friendly and did give us plenty of new towels.

The lady that checked me in was nice enough. The room was nice, bed comfortable, but the room was very damp even with the air cond. running. The ladies who ran the breakfast counter were fantastic, and did a great job! The 2 young girls at the front counter when I left were a little rude. They seemed to care more about their private conversation than greeting or speaking to me. I had stayed here before, and was impressed enough to come back. Despite the girls, I would be willing to stay again. But remember, good management is everything.

Decent Stay
Pretty average Holiday Inn. Clean and quiet. Would recommend staying here. No room for parking a vehicle with a trailer. We had to park in the road behind the hotel. Not a deal breaker - I'd stay here again.

Great time.
Had a great time. We were in town for a baseball tournament. One thing we didn't like was the size of the pool, not big enough otherwise it was a nice stay.

Like the breakfast and mini fridge in room. Location is good for what we were looking for. Love the soap and shampoo also. Like the pool and excise room. They provide hair dryer also and microwave. The shades in room work well block light for sleep. Shower was good also. Hot tub could be lil hotter but still enjoyed it. Parking good for us as well.

The floor was filthy. Crumbs everywhere and even a squished pepperoni. The pillows need to be thrown- had clean pillowcases but the pillows had multiple stains on them.
