The property was in transition, but was in great shape. Our room looked to be newly updated. Very nice. We were not able to check in until after 5, because our room was not ready. This was not a problem for us. I would recommend a full service breakfast and a restaurant on property, but for the price this property was top notch!!

Overall i guess because of the renovation the building itself was not bad. Hated that they didnt have actual breakfast. Also the room could of used a better cleaning. The entire time we stayed there no one came by to see if we needed clean towels or anything. The front staff was very friendly though.

Thank you for taking time to leave us a review. We deeply apologize for the smell that was in your original room during your stay. This has been a result of the City of Carbondale doing work on Reed Station Rd and rest assured we are working with them diligently to get this to go away. We hope we get the opportunity to host you again in the future.

Thank you for taking time to leave us a review. We apologize that the newly renovated room you had stayed in was not up to par for you during your stay with us. We are currently undergoing a full conversion to a Holiday Inn Express and Suites which will mean a full upgrade to our public spaces and all of our sleeping rooms. We are over halfway finished with our renovation and are extremely excited with how all of our upgrades are looking already. We hope you take a chance on us again in the future.

In the area for a family reunion and we had a great experience at this property. The entire staff was helpful, resourceful and pleasant. Rooms were clean and housekeeping were accommodating with extra towels when needed. Breakfast selections were nice & a great start to the day. If we need to come back to the area we will be returning to this hotel.

Everything was Meh
Had this been my first stay at a Holiday Inn, I probably would find somewhere else to stay in the future. When I say everything was Meh, I mean EVERYTHING. First thing I noticed was that it looks a bit run down when you leave the lobby. My room is very small compared even to the other Holiday Inns in the area I usually stay. Curtain track is hanging on by a thread. Mildew on the tub. Hot breakfast was microwave jimmy dean. I'm keto and stay at holiday inns so I can eat some eggs and meat and go on with my day-not a single thing I could eat here. The room was clean enough, the staff was friendly, but I stayed here because the other HI's were full and now I see why. Wouldn't stay in this one again.
