Old ancient hotel that has seen better days(probably back when Jimmy Carter was in office). My room was very small, cramped, cluttered, humid and musty. Actually my room smelled like a combination of mold and feet. Yes they did have a dehumidifier in the room, presumably to get the funk and humidity out of the air, however, it's loud and... More

PROS: Friendly front desk staff (Stephanie was extremely helpful). Great location & easily accessible (just off I94). Extremely clean. Rooms are modern and nicely decorated, and contain all the modern day amenites. Beds... More

My husband had surgery on a foot and we were given a room on the main level and we were warned that it may be busy and loud due to a convention going on near the pool area. There was alot of people and alot of children running thru the halls. We were impressed on the security of the guys... More

I have stayed at this hotel numerous times, as most of my extended family lives in Alexandria. I admit that when I was a kid, it was one of my favorite places to go because I could play in the pool and arcade with my parents watching from the pool side room or hot tub. I choose to continue to... More

I'll admit it, I'm a big fan of the old-style Holiday Inns with the big pool area in the middle with the rooms around it. You don't see many of these still operating with the Holiday Inn name so that tells you they've done a pretty good job of keeping it updated. Be careful booking a pool-side room for a... More

We stayed here for one night on our way back from MT to IL. The hotel was clean, and the service was great. The room size is typical of older hotels along with the bathroom. We did hear kids running down the hall late at night, so I know it's not sound proof. All linens on the beds were updated... More

Pleasant front desk people. Large room that was clean with microwave & frig. If I would return again I would ask for a room away from the pool. Very noisy until quite late including screaming kids. I didnt get much sleep. When I checked out I was told I should have called the front desk. Very nice town. Be sure... More
