This was a very clean hotel with polite, helpful staff. The breakfast in the morning had a plethora of options, and they even had coffee available when we showed up in the evening. Double bonus points! The *saltwater* pool on the second floor was so nice: warm and clean, with toys available for the kids! The gym was clean and bright, with a bottle water filling station I appreciated. We will certainly choose this hotel again if in the area.
Excellent rooms with comfortable beds and pillows. The breakfast was really good for a free breakfast. The only thing missing was a waffle maker. The hotel cannot police everyone's behavior, but we had some rowdy kids on our floor (they had a traveling soccer team). We woke up at midnight and 3 a.m. from the slamming doors, yelling and running through the halls. I'm not sure where their parents were. The hotel was great otherwise.
It was clean and somewhat quiet, you could hear some road noise, but it wasn't bad. I would stay here again. The people were very nice and accommodating also
The night front desk clerk was very friendly and welcoming. Always greeted us with a smile. Other staff also friendly. They did have breakfast there so that was great. Place shows signs of being an older hotel. Can do with a little tlc. Overall great for overnight stay.
We stay here every time we go to TN. The people are so nice to work with and the room is always clean.
This was my first time booking a hotel. The staff were super friendly and accommodating. I want to give Nicole Hamilton, the front office manager, a special mention. I tried to extend my stay by a day and accidentally picked the wrong date. She walked me through how to fix it. I will definitely stay here again.
My room was very clean! Maybe the cleanest hotel room I have ever stayed in. Seriously, very clean!!! This cleaning crew does an amazing job. The staff was very attentive and helpful. Breakfast was good. I would stay here again.
This is probably my favorite location of the Holiday Inn Express family. It was extremely easy to access and exit. The room was spotless and smelled clean as well. The staff were professional and curious. The breakfast was delicious with the foods being identified with a card. The coolest thing... Having our room receipt slid under our door as we slept leaving that all we had to do was to drop off our room key!! Well done HIE!!
