“Room 237 was honestly one of the best hotel rooms I’ve stayed in. As soon as I walked in, I was surprised by how spacious it felt there was plenty of room to move around, relax, and not feel cramped at all. Everything was clean, well-kept, and set up in a way that made the stay feel really comfortable. One of the best parts was how quiet it was. There wasn’t much noise coming from the hallway or other rooms, so it was easy to just unwind and get a good night’s sleep without any distractions. The bathroom was another highlight it looked really nice and modern, almost like something out of a boutique hotel. It was clean, well-lit, and honestly perfect for taking pictures. Everything just had that fresh, polished look that makes it feel a bit more luxurious than a standard stay. Also, the front desk staff were super friendly and welcoming. From check-in to any small questions, they were helpful, polite, and made everything feel easy and stress-free.”

“My sister and I recently stayed at the Holiday Inn in Clark for the second time. We were so pleased the first time when we stayed there in March that we returned again last week. The staff is professional, friendly and knowledgeable, The rooms are clean, the beds are comfortable and the breakfast is also very good. We also visited the pub area for a late evening snack which was fresh and tasty. We are so delighted with this hotel that I have already made reservations for a return trip for an upcoming wedding. Kathy the General Manager has trained her staff well and all employees have fabulous worth ethic.”

“Hotel is nice, good location and amenities. I found that the hotel staff is totally inept. They didn't clean my room for 3 days. On my 3rd day morning, I went to front desk and very specifically asked my room to be cleaned while I was out all day... there was no 'Do Not Disturb' sign on my door. My room was never cleaned. And I am IHG Platinum! The staff needs serious re-training.”
