We had an event to attend in Flowery Branch and another in Buford. The location was convenient for both events. The hotel was tucked away from the road, so we never heard any road noise. The staff was very helpful and friendly. Parking was easy, and we had arrived after 10pm. The room was very clean and the breakfast was very good. I would not hesitate to stay here again.

Great location… incredible service!
This hotel is located just off of the 985 with great access to Lake Lanier! The staff is incredible, from Jason to Jade to Juan who makes incredible breakfasts every morning! Not your typical Holiday Inn!!!

Overall, there was good sanitation and hygiene. Even though the rooms were available, the manager would not allow us to check in thirty minutes early. He expressly stated that this was because we booked through a third party, and he allowed other people to check in early. I wish we had known about this policy beforehand and felt really embarrassed.

The staff was excellent and went out of their way to accommodate me. The room was clean and fresh. It didn’t have that old air conditioner smell at all. Spacious and just what I needed. Would stay again.
