This Holiday Inn & Suites is pretty new, so I'd be surprised if guests had any complaints. The current owners must have done a major overhaul for everything to look so up-to-date. I was a guest here a few years ago when it was still a "Country Inn and Suites," and there is no sign of the building's previous identity. I stayed in a king bedroom for two nights. There was plenty of space in the middle of the room for a sofa and coffee table. I don't like watching TV from a bed, so the room's layout was quite comfortable. The bathroom was clean, with a shower (no tub) and soap, etc. available via dispenser, as a lot of hotels do now. Bed was comfortable, and the small fridge worked fine. The shades also functioned well to keep the room dark. There are USB ports to charge your devices. And it was easy to get the room's temperature adjusted. The breakfast buffet was more than adequate, with pre-made omelettes one morning and warm cinnamon rolls both days. Parking was plentiful. Staff members were all cheerful and professional. My only concern with this hotel is that there's just one elevator for guests, so it's much in demand. Since the renovation took out the old, folksy wooden stairway to the second floor that characterize all Country Inns and Suites, you might have to hunt a little to get to a stairs, but I found that faster when I wasn't using my suitcase.
