the thin walls, and although you don’t hear the traffic from nearby highway, you feel the vibrations interrupting a good night’s sleep. This was my only issue after during my week stay. Otherwise the staff was an outstanding set of people and the breakfast was decent for hotel, with some healthy options. Hotel was clean, beds comfortable.

Very clean hotel. Had breakfast one time and the food was standard hotel food. The hotel doesn’t look anything like a holiday inn from the outside. It’s just s brown brick building. The pictures were a little misleading. Overall experience was great. Front desk was friendly.

Lindy

Liked: Staff & service
Disliked: Amenities
The staff was fantastic from beginning to end. Very friendly and helped out with extra pillows and needing a few minutes after checkout time to finish getting everything out of the room. It definitely could’ve been cleaner as there was a stain on the sheet and didn’t look like the bathroom, especially the floors were cleaned all that well. For what it was, I felt that it was a bit overpriced, especially for the middle of the week. I didn’t find them bad to be terribly comfortable, but that’s more of a personal preference. I believe I do not like a firmer mattress so again that’s just a personal preference. All in all it was fine but definitely could be cleaner better priced but I will say the staff was fantastic.
