My wife and I stayed here for a friends wedding in March and found the Hotel great as far as facilities, breakfast, and amenities. We felt, though, that it is overpriced as the only other hotel in town is the Red Rose Inn and it does not get rave reviews. We were also shocked that this town of 12000 does... More

I love this hotel. It's very clean with comfortable beds. The maid Jenn does a wonderful job keeping room nice :) I stay here while training for work.

I'm a priority club elite member and travel frequently. Nice facility very clean and I would stay there again. Staff is friendly helpful. Rooms are very clean and very basic. The fitness center is also very good for a Holiday Inn Express.

The rooms were clean and people were pleasant. But the odor of cigarette smoke looms over every room and corridor no matter where you stay. Otherwise it's a decent short stay place. Parking is a bit limited due to the large trucks in the lot.

For $150 per night, this hotel was pretty barebones. Very nice employees, but nothing fancy. Small bathroom. It was an interesting combination of many amenities (newspaper, microwave, good TV, new towels, but it still had cheap construction and a noisy AC. Location is about 5 miles for downtown. Okay for good place to sleep.
