Reviews
- MikeMar 22, 2023Under construction
Not everything available due to construction.
- DeniseAug 27, 2022Remodeling but nice
Nice hotel that allows dogs. Grass all around hotel. Was on third floor but didn’t care.
- CarolApr 21, 2022Horrible
They only had 3rd floor rooms and NO elevator working. The only good thing is we were able to cancel and get a room at Red Roof Inn, which was fantastic.
- BrianOct 9, 2021Stayed in much better Holiday Inn Expresses
No clock, no toilet paper holder, no hangers, ice machine broken on our floor, tiles missing in bedroom. Very noisy with person walking above our room.
- JoanDec 24, 2019clean, comfortable, noisy night inside, fire ants outside
Staff was very friendly and the hotel was clean and comfortable enough.
There are grassy areas around the perimeter of the hotel for dogs to relieve themselves, but be advised there are lots of fire ant mounds throughout those areas and I had to look closely to keep my pup away from those, especially in the darkness. My pup also sniffed out several pieces of discarded food items in the lawn area within a few feet of the building itself but fortunately I managed to coax him to drop it before he ingested anything.
We asked for a quiet room at the end of a hallway away from other dogs if possible because our 3-year-old pup barks sometimes when he senses people or other dogs nearby. We were given a room next to a door labeled 'staff only' and over the course of the night there was frequent foot traffic back and forth into that room while staff did their nightly cleaning and laundry. Every time someone walked by and went in/out that door we would hear the door open/close and our pup would get concerned and bark. It was literally the worst night's rest we had on the entire trip. - StephanieDec 14, 2019Great place to spend the night
We enjoyed our overnight stay here. The staff was very friendly, lots of grassy area to walk the dog, and the rooms were clean and comfortable. We would stay here again!
- PeggyMore than a year agoI love staying here on my way to and from Colorado.
