Holiday Inn Express & Suites - Dahlonega - University Area by IHG

The room and the linens smelled so good. The shower was really spacious too.

I didn't really find anything bad at all. I did notice that the elevator inspection expired in January and it was the end of May but there weren't any issues with the elevator.

Breakfast was not as advertised. Water pressure was low in room. Took forever for water to get hot.

The room was clean, comfortable, and well appointed. The hotel was in a very convenient location. The staff were friendly and welcoming.

Access to the parking garage was much more difficult than it should have been and the parking spots were difficult to get in. There was not enough space to get in and out of parked vehicles comfortably. The breakfast provided was really pedestrian and not very good. The word "eggs" was written on the wall and in several other places, yet no eggs were on the breakfast offerings. Just sausage gravy and biscuits. Second despite yogurt being written on the mini-fridge at breakfast, no yogurt of any type was provided. Third, the only sweeteners provided for the coffee were saccharin and sugar. No equal or splenda were available. Also, no cream or half and half were provided for the coffee. Just some flavored coffee mate products that are not particularly appealing. The coffee was good, but not the things that go with it. The breakfast really needs to be improved.

The breakfasts were good and the 24 hour coffee was great. The secure free parking was a wonderful bonus.

More light in the room would have been nice, and the shower kept dripping.

The hotel was great. Centrally located in downtown Dahlonega (with parking), easy walking distance all around the downtown square. Staff was super friendly, and the facilities were clean and spacious -- the room was large, beds were comfortable, and everything that mattered was great. My only negative was the breakfast, but that tends to be the case for me in most hotels of this ilk.

Breakfast -- it was neatly displayed and there were a fair amount of options, but the eggs were lukewarm and tasted just like the eggs at hotels always taste (made in a big pan, sitting there a while). Also, there was a fun machine that made pancakes to order, which was fun to try, but the pancakes it spat out were horrible and rubbery. Again, this isn't really the hotel's fault - it was very much in line with how breakfasts at this level of hotel tend to be, i just wished that it was more tasty -- the only thing satisfying was the machine that made coffee to order.
