Kelsey was delightful when we checked in late. The hotel is very new and very clean. Everything and I mean everything was very clean and fresh. We slept great. I LOVED that we had ample towels in our room! I am so thankful! I hate hotels that ration our towels. If I had one complaint and it’s minor, I am light sensitive and the flashing light of the smoke alarm or sprinkler was annoying and did wake me from time to time.

Not what i expected
There was almost no snow removal in the parking lot and i has to be careful where i parked so that my car would not be stuck in the snow. There was no snow removal even under the car port or sidewalk. The snow was from the night before and it had been packed down. The bed was not very tidy and the bed skirt was slightly off on one side. The sheets and mattress pad where not smooth. The snack shop had minimal options and no beer or wine. The window heater was noisy and it woke me up every time it came on. On a different note, the breakfast bar was well stacked and very good.

New hotel. Sadly, we went down to use the hot tub and it didn’t have one. Just a pool and the water was pretty cool. Other than that, everything was nice and new! Easy biking distance to the High Trustle Trail, yet 25 mile bike ride to the High Trustle Bridge.

Great one-night stay
The hotel had a great location. It was clean, well-maintained, with spacius rooms and comfortable beds. This is what I have come to expect from Holidays Inns and have not been disappointed. The breakfast was not as good as other Holiday Inns I have stayed at.
