Newberry tournament
Pros:

I was greeted by Laura upon arriving and she was wonderful. We were a hour early for check in and my daughter wasn’t feeling well. She was able to get us checked in within 10 minutes so that my daughter could get some rest. My room was clean, room request we met, and all the staff has been incredibly helpful. If you’re in town for Softball, this is the place to stay.

One of the best experience ever
Pros:

This was one of the best stays that I’ve ever experienced out of 1000 stays in hotels I have stayed in. Natashua is most definitely 1 of the top reasons why my stay was so amazing! There was not one problem she didn’t solve no matter how big or small Natashua had the solution. She’s so caring so full of joy & so very helpful, the most loving spirit I’ve ever seen! Wish I could take her home with me. Holiday Inn express, I truly pray y’all know the beautiful Jewell that y’all have worked at your front desk saluting your guest! Don’t ever lose, she simply the best. Thanks for your beautiful attitude & caring heart!

Friendly, clean, and full of amenities
Pros:

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Outstanding Stay and Exceptional Service!

We had a fantastic stay at this Holiday Inn Express. A special thank you to Laura and Natasha at the front desk. They were friendly, professional, and genuinely helpful throughout our stay. Their positive attitudes and attention to guests made a great first impression and set the tone for a wonderful experience.

The hotel is exceptionally clean, modern, and clearly very well maintained. The entire property, from the lobby to the breakfast area and outdoor amenities, felt fresh, updated, and welcoming.

The amenities were excellent. The outdoor courtyard and pool area were beautiful, with plenty of seating and a resort-like atmosphere. The common areas were spotless and comfortable, making it easy for our group to relax and gather.

The breakfast buffet was one of the best Holiday Inn Express breakfasts we’ve experienced. There was a wide variety of options, including hot items, fresh fruit, yogurt, eggs, sausage, biscuits, pancakes, pastries, and more. Everything was well stocked, organized, and kept very clean during the busy morning rush.

If you’re looking for a hotel that is clean, modern, family friendly, and staffed by people who truly care about guest service, this is an excellent choice. Laura and Natasha deserve recognition for making our stay memorable. We would absolutely stay here again.
