lovely hotel, more than worth the price

A nice overnight stay on our trek across I80 and a good value for the price of the room.The restaurant is in the next building casino which is attached to the hotel. Breakfast (included) in the hotel is huge with hot entrees, waffles, good coffee. My only issue is the styrofoam plates and plastic flatware being tossed in the trash. I thought the IHG would have gone to compostable by now.

I only stayed one night, but I do like the Holiday Inn. I did mention to the front desk nicely that they needed to drain out the tub as it wasn’t draining properly and they had a slight air conditioning leak, which caused the carpet 3 feet out from the wall to be Slightly wet. Nice property otherwise I was impressed with the robot security outside. Thanks, Greg.

It was a great location for what we traveled for. The room itself was not in good condition: there was super hot water with no cold water, it smelled like electrical issues had happened, and the a/c was not Working properly.

A great place to stay and the chicken strips and Philly steak at at the casino next door were a convenient walk away, then easy to eat on the outdoor patio are near the pool while watching the river run on by. Gorgeous sunset. Will stay again!
