All of the employees there were great! (Joanna, the bartender-especially AWESOME!) I was able to get into my room a couple of hours early, which was a decent size and almost clean. There were a couple of crumbs on the floor in one corner and the shower curtain needed to be bleached. The air conditioning wasn't working but they had... More

Room was nicer than most I've stayed in. It had an extra seating area with a couch which helped it feel more homey. Staff was very friendly and I had a great dinner in the restaurant. Only negative is there was not a continental breakfast, but they had a really good breakfast menu. I would definitely recommend people to here... More

The hotel was fine for the little amount of time we spent there, but I wouldn't suggest it for any length of time. The bathroom set up was poor. The sink is just inside the door to the room. We had our two daughters with us and it seemed like we were bumping into each other every time we tried... More

I'm on my last day of a 2 week stay. Hotel was very clean and the staff friendly. The Cardinal Cafe, located on the first floor, offered a nice range of breakfast and dinner items. Each morning, I was greeted by each staff member encountered and wished a good day. Simple things that help set me up for a good... More

Check in was ok but once got to the room the smell of stale smoke was overpowering. The room was very dated ( not up to HIE standards ) Bathroom was more like staying at a super 8 than a Holiday Inn. Then with the 8:30 wake up from housekeeping that was the straw that broke the camels back. Would... More

We needed a location close to family. This location is just right, and we found the staff and room to be most satisfactory. My wife has a high degree of allergy problems, and the room was unusually clean. There is 125 pounds difference in our weight, and the bed was most comfortable for both of us. The front dest staff...
