Good but not perfect.
Quite a bit of space and very clean. The beds were comfortable but very high. We literally had to jump up to get on them and I, at least, had to be careful betting off. There was one chair in the room some distance from the TV. It would be nice to have a desk chair on casters so that a person could watch the news in the morning without having to jump back in bed. There is plenty of room for another chair.

Book direct next time
I booked two rooms on Hotels.com when I arrived, the facility said that they only had one room for me. Currently, I am being charged for two rooms. The Holiday Inn said I had to go through Expedia. No one has responded to my text inquiry yet.

Area questionable
Hotel itself is nice. Area around is very run down with many homeless people wandering around the super 8 up the street and by the gas stations. Never received room service Was told they had 90 checkouts.
