Great IHG property. Clean rooms, good breakfast, great shower, reasonably priced. Kind staff.
We love staying at this location when we travel home to Virginia. We have stayed here since my 10 year old was a baby. It's always a nice stay. We checked in yesterday and I asked for a military discount. The lady at the counter (starts with a B) was nice, however, she said it would be easier on her end if I had something like an AARP membership number to punch in and she said I could book it online to get the military discount. I declined because I had all 3 of my kids and we just wanted to get settled in a room after driving for 7 hours. Never had that happen before! I guess if you want a military discount or any other discount other than AARP, book online!!
We found our double queen to be clean, comfortable, and quiet. Service was friendly. Breakfast is one of the better "continentals" you will find. They haven't had an indoor pool in years, not sure why that is still listed. There are a few chain restaurants nearby. The price was still high for a basic hotel.
Stayed here with my husband and our kids (all 5 and under). The front desk workers were very pleasant and friendly. The room was very nice and clean. Also in the morning the lady who put the breakfast out was truly amazing. I have a newborn and 3 little boys and she tried to help when I was getting my coffee and the food for the littles. Honestly because of her we will definitely be staying here again. I would highly recommend staying here whenever you are in town and need a place to stay. Great job y’all!
Beds are a little high and for a short person like me, well, I managed. Would have liked a firmer mattress but it is what it was. Great breakfast. I haven't stayed at a Holiday Inn in a long time but they have upped their game from the last time I stayed in one. The pancake machine just fascinated me.
So we were going to stay at a different hotel nearby, it looked a little shady so we went here and I’m glad we did. Room was clean and as advertised. I like that there was an actual bathtub as we have a little one. I used the workout room. It wasn’t anything spectacular but enough to get a morning workout in. I appreciate that breakfast is included in the price. Staff members were great. Thank you!
In a commercial area off Interstate 85, this laid-back hotel is 3 miles from the 19th-century Boone-Douthit House and 7 miles from Anderson County Museum.
