My stay could not have been nicer - I had dinner both nights in the main restaurant and both meals, and the service, were perfect! Your entire staff could not have been more helpful and accommodating - it was a perfect stay! Many thanks!!

Holiday Inn Downtown - Mercy Area by IHG
Our stay was great. Beds were comfortable. Only issues we had was the pool was so cold, our kids didn’t want to swim more than 15 minutes. One of our rooms didn’t have a microwave but they were adjoining so not a big deal for us.
