It was nice and the staff was friendly.
natascha, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Decent hotel fairly close to Cherokee. The reason we booked this hotel is for the indoor pool and hot tub and the hot tub was broken this time or down. At breakfast, the pancake maker was broken as well. Other than that, it was exactly what you would expect from a Holiday Inn.

10/10 Exceptional

Everything good. No liked the jacuzzi no was working.
Nayda, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

for 2 prior nights had been in Farmville Va in same price hotel that was terrible. I felt when I walked into this hotel like I was coming back home to the USA from 3rd world country and was being welcomed by the old DELTA AIRLINES RED COAT. This was clean , nice people and worth every dime.
william whaley, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Wouldn’t stay again

Bed was extremely uncomfortable and the highway noise was overpowering. I sleep with a sound machine and could still hear the cars/trucks going by. Also disappointing that the hot tub was out of service. That’s one reason I booked here and I couldn’t even use it.
