The Holiday Motel & Restaurant

The Holiday is nothing extravagant by any means. For the price they charge it’s a great value. I’ve stayed multiple times and in both the older rooms and the remodeled rooms. The remodeled rooms are definitely an upgrade from the 1970s tiled bathrooms 😂. It’s straight up a basic place to stay. It’s not the ritz Carlton like a lot of people seem to expect. But the rooms are clean, the beds are actually comfortable and don’t kill my back. There’s a full bar with beer, booze, and wine. The front desk employees have always been friendly and make check in easy even with an old school system. I am still waiting to be able to get breakfast here as I’ve heard it’s good. The drivers at the company I work for utilize this hotel quite often. I have had dinner here before. I happened upon a buffet by chance one evening. There was a Rotary meeting that night and once that group has their first round at the buffet, it’s opened to the rest of the public and kept open and replenished. They had ribs and chicken and sides to go with. I was not disappointed at all. The burgers are pretty good too. I have heard good of the steak but haven’t tried it for myself yet. Maybe next time. Tonight I had the honey cashew chicken. I’m on the fence with that one. The chicken itself was done great. Juicy and tender. My baked potato was very obviously microwaved and not the greatest. The soup was pretty good! But just like any place things will be hit n miss. I’ve had a lot worse experiences in places that were brand new and cost twice as much. To the people saying the rooms are old and dated. They’ve been remodeling over time and continue to update rooms. If you get an outside room it can be noisy, but that comes with any place of the sort. Brand new hotels are staying away from carpet and the noise transfer is horrid. The inside rooms are much better. So if you’re worried about noise request an inside room and you’ll be fine. If you want new, fancy, and overpriced there’s a best western down the road for about $170 a night. But they don’t have a restaurant. They might have a bar. If it’s open. I’ll take this place over an overpriced bed any time. Especially when there’s somewhere to sit down and eat my dinner, get a friendly smile and even have a bit of conversation over a drink or beer! Oh did I mention towels shaped in to roses… or my favorite so far a teddy bear?

Did not get to check in. No one at reception. Had to call for attention. Could Not accept credit card requested cash. I canceled and went down the road.
