The hotel's rooms, while generally meeting Holiday Inn standards in terms of cleanliness, had some concerning blood stains on the comforter, which was quite off-putting. On the positive side, the rooms were kept clean. The cigarette smell was a downside. The service was a mix of smug and rude behavior but managed to resolve an overcharge issue efficiently. The location was convenient and close to various attractions with some noise disturbance from airplanes. The dining was acceptable but not exceptional, offering limited options. Facilities were standard, with no specific comments on them.

The rooms were just what one would expect from Holiday Inn, except for the blood stains on the comforter, which was quite gross.

The hotel's location was great for an overnight stop from Georgia to the Chicagoland area, close to the Cardinal Stadium and accessible to public transportation.
Dining

The dining options were sufficient for a quick bite, but nothing too exceptional, and the breakfast must be pre-ordered.

The hotel had both positive and negative aspects. The rooms were comfortable and well-maintained, but there were some issues like broken tiles, mildew in the shower, and a worn-out bed. Finding leftover beer from the previous guest was not pleasant. On the bright side, the hotel was beautiful and offered a cozy stay for seniors.

The dining experience had room for improvement. While there was potential for great meals, the overall quality was inconsistent, and there seemed to be a lack of sufficient staff to manage the food service. However, some dishes were delicious and worth the extra cost.
