What a disaster with a disgusting no people skill having General Manger. I booked a room online thru Expedia. I’m driving from Nashville TN WHERE I LIVE AND OWN A HOUSE! I have a TN drivers license and my car has a TN tag because I AM A TENNESSEE RESIDENT!!!! Tge GM calls while I’m driving and is immediately RUDE. She states they don’t rent to locals so I can’t have a room. I explained that I’m not a local and am a resident of TN. Her response was “Since when?” EXCUSE ME!!!! Since I sold my house a year and a half ago and MOVED TO Tennessee!!! My children still have family here and I’m driving in to pick them up. I’m staying one night. She says VERY RUDELY that if I have a TN drivers license I can check in. I drive the 7 hours in my car that has a TN tag I get here and am told I’m on a “do not rent list” I ask why and just told that I won’t be checking in. I asked what I did to be put on a list they didn’t have an answer.

The front desk lady was amazing when I was checking in. She was so friendly and kind. The hotel lobby was so clean and the hotel smelled clean. The rooms were in perfect order and beds comfortable. The only down side was the fire alarm went off in the middle of the night and we were left outside for close to a half hour while the fire department figured that out. But that’s not the staffs fault at all.

I was in town for my father‘s services… The hotel staff did an excellent job in making sure that we were taken care of… I would like to shout out about the front desk, clerk Miss Ashley, she was very understanding and made our stay very comfortable and our needs were taken care of.. she is deserving of a five star rating for service provided. I will probably be in need of additional time to attend to affairs and will definitely be using Holiday Inn for city as my home while in town.. again thank you for providing an excellent experience during my troubled times… Sincerely David Pies…

Clean, Comfortable and Friendly Staff

Myself and a friend were in town for a race down the road at the equestrian center. The hotel parking lot was clean and there were many options for parking. The inside was clean, staff friendly to check in. Room was clean, bathroom stocked. Beds were comfortable. Breakfast was GREAT! I was pleasantly surprised. We ended up needing a late check out and the staff were able to accommodate without issue. I will plan to stay again in the future for races in the area.

Consistent with Holiday Inn Express

Note: I can’t rate the breakfast, workout room, nor any of the other amenities as I came, stayed the night and left the next morning. It could have been cleaner. Spacious room. Consistent with other Holiday Inn Express rooms. However: the guest next door kept their TV blaring all night, and some folks were sitting in the parking lot watching videos and smoking cigarettes in their car. Odd behavior.
