    Pros +

    • Staff was friendly and helpful.
    • quiet setting, design of room was good, good breakfast
    • Close to everything. Large spacious room. Comfortable beds.

    Cons -

    • Bathroom smelled like mold and the bathtub drain was clogged. The breakfast was one of the worst I've ever had at a hotel.
    • desk clerk was weird about us checking in 15 minutes before the allowed check-in time. If it was a big deal he should have told us we had to wait. Instead he said he'd "try" to find us a room, as if it was going to be a big deal. Awkward...
    • No hand soap in dispenser Need more plugs or charging stations

    Proximity to VT vampus

    Chose the room for the kitchen - dirty dishes and dishwasher, no dish soap or dishwasher detergent anywhere in the hotel, needed to use additional blanket, but when unfolded it had visible brown residue of some kind, strangerstriedrepeatedlytoopendoor@3am

    Staff were welcoming, professional, and caring about our stay. Great location. Hot breakfast had everything we wanted. We stayed in a large room that included a seating area and kitchenette--perfect. We would definitely want to stay there again.

    1Verified guestPosted on: 6-30-2025

    The bed was comfortable

    Staff needs better training on how to check someone in. 3 hours to get to my room

    9Verified guestPosted on: 5-27-2025

    Great location & good value

    Beds were crazy hard.

    10ElisePosted on: 5-21-2025

    The room was very nice and had everything we needed.

    Hot breakfast offerings could have been refilled quicker, many people came in to empty dishes.

    9ChristopherPosted on: 3-7-2025

    Clean and convenient.

    The bedding was very thick / hot and I had to kick most of it off to sleep.

    10RobertPosted on: 2-14-2025

    The only negative !i was on the 5th floor at the end of the hall. The wifi was so spotty that it was worth less. I had to use a hot spot from my phone.

    10SharonPosted on: 11-25-2024

    Comfortable bed and pillows, clean

    2Verified guestPosted on: 7-23-2024

    Location, size of room

    Breakfast with limited choices, hard to find a table for sit down and eat, it was crowded, and staff was more concerned about getting tip than restocking the food

    10AnnePosted on: 5-30-2024

    Clean, updated and comfortable beds

    6RobertPosted on: 4-14-2024

    Front desk was missing for extended periods when needed Breakfast was lackluster Orange juice was contaminated with stevia

    I have not stayed in a Holiday Inn in years and chose it because it was my only option. This hotel was unexepectedly incredible. The staff was beyond anything I could have imagined. Kind accommodating. Loved my stay.

    10ToniPosted on: 7-11-2023

    Was very new looking. Plenty of breakfast staff was friendly. Closet to wear our son lives.

    Daily cleaning crew missed a lot on daily check. Left dirty was cloths. Floor had dirty shoe prints by dink after they were there. Next day spots still there plus did not dump trash.

    Price, location, quality rooms

    10CharlesPosted on: 3-3-2023

    Friendly helpful reception. Layout of the room very convenient for a couple.

    Cleaning could be a little better (to be fair, we own a commercial cleaning company).

    9SusanPosted on: 1-10-2023

    Every person on the staff that I encountered was friendly and helpful. The room was large, the beds were super comfy.

    The breakfast was meh.

    7Verified Hotel GuestPosted on: 1-6-2023

    Clean, friendly staff.

    The breakfast selection was bad. Could improve for sure.
