I had made reservations about a week in advance for a nonsmoking room with two double beds. When I checked into the hotel, I was given my key and went to my room. Immediately upon opening the door to my room I realized that it was a smoking room, not a nonsmoking room as I had requested. When I went to the front desk to request a room change, I was told that there was not another nonsmoking room with two double beds available in the hotel. At the time there were about ten cars in the parking lot. I was a little confused because there didn't seem to be that many people in the hotel. Luckily, the people I was traveling with had gotten a nonsmoking room with two double beds and switched rooms with me. As soon as I walked into the room and turned on the light, I was greeted by the biggest cockroach I have ever seen and that is saying a lot because I live in Georgia and have seen some big cockroaches. Later on I found another one in the bathroom. As we were getting ready for bed, my daughter's friend noticed that there were fleas in her bed. I wanted to change rooms again but I couldn't because there were no more nonsmoking rooms with two double beds available. My daughter has asthma so we can't have a smoking room. Needless to say, we were very disappointed with our visit.

I was informed that this particular Holiday Inn was newly remodeled with fresh paint and carpet. The information was accurate however the paint was covering prior water damage to this hotel. My stay was originally booked for May 22-May 25, 2009 and was cut short due to the hotel stay. During my 2 night stay I switched rooms each night. One room during my check in had dirt all over one of the beds and spiders which is not good for children . The second room had a water leak over the air conditioning unit, the bathroom door was broke the in room refrigerator was dirty, and the tub/shower area had mildew and loose mildewed tile. The breakfast buffet was a joke. There was 1 waiter serving over 10 people, with 2 pots of coffee, carton orange juice that she ran out of an hour before breakfast was over, breakfast meat that was limited on the breakfast bar and when it ran out did not come back out for an entire 30 minutes, pancakes and omelets placed to order with only one waitier. The outdoor pool never opened and appeared to have alot of debree in the pool, which was a boomer for my kids. The internet in the hotel sucked and was extremely slow, so don't plan to do any work away from home or plan to search for places. This hotel was extremely old, dirty, and nasty!! I would advise anyone to consider paying a little more for a hotel, there are plenty doen the street that appeared to be alot better that is still near the mall and other shops/restaurants.

on the low end of no frills. mostly fine, but with a few odd/icky things, like a yellow toilet seat, paint stains in the bathtub and masking tape covering the handle on the inside of the bathroom door. Breakfast buffet had a lot of choices, but was overall pretty nasty. Cold cereal was the best bet.

Strangely enough, the first night I stayed there, I think i was the only female guest in the hotel. the waitress at breakfast said that was typical.

Free wifi, but the connection wasn't steady.

Given that there are a surprising # of hotels in this relatively small town, it's not worth staying at the Holiday Inn. My colleagues stayed at another hotel and paid about $20 more per night and had a MUCH better experience.

Spent one night at this hotel and even though they are doing some work, the staff was outstanding.
