We've stayed here for years so we gave the new chain (Garden Plaza) as a chance when they opted not to renew with Holiday Inn. The standard Holiday Inn set with customer service far exceeds Garden Plaza's standards. We went out to our car this morning to find that someone had completely smashed the rear of our van in the...

Booked a two night stay and left after one night. We had a "suite". The couch had multiple years in it. Carpets were stained and had not been vacuumed. Bathroom had stains in the tub. Two TVs were ancient and the remotes didn't function properly. The locks on the rear exterior doors near our room were broken and the door... More

Ok for the location to the Jack Allen Soccer Fields, this hotel is perfect. However, this hotel needs a lot of upgrades. Our room was clean, but just had an old feel to it. Really the sink needs to be replaced as it showed signs of too much use. Linens and towels were fine but nothing spectacular. The lobby was... More

No hotels from New Orleans to Memphis which sucked. This place just changed from a holiday inn maybe because of the lack upgrades the room rate was 100 for the night and there was no breakfast for free in the morning it is off the interstate about 5 miles away I would guess. That's what we get for not reserving... More

I travel constantly for my job and spend a lot of time in hotels. Simply put, this hotel is an embarrassment to the Holiday Inn name. The lobby was very nice and the staff seemed to be friendly but that is where the positives stop. Despite looking to be clean, the room had a very musty smell as did the... More

Not up to par of what I expect from Holiday Inn. Older hotel showing a lot of wear. Staff was courteous and room was clean but seemed to have musty aroma. Price seemed rather high considering there was no complimentary breakfast offered. There was a cafe which you may purchase breakfast. Again no bargain. Not much else available as lodging... More

Lobby is gorgeous. Should have spent money on renovating the rooms. Rooms were decently clean beds were clean and comfortable. The overall hotel, however was musty feeling. My main concern was the feeling I was going to fall through the bathroom tub. The floor had been cracking and patched up with an anti-slip mat. You could still see cracks coming... More

Highly recommend for quality price and value for our short weekend trip. Clean, breakfast included and felt safe. Was able to check in early, and we really appreciated that. After staying our first night in a different hotel, being able to get checked in earlier was great.
