The Holiday Inn Bar and Grill is just off the main lobby and serves breakfast and dinner, as well as a range of drinks.

Positive Reviews
positive:
Clean and well maintained
Guests were clearly impressed with the level of cleanliness they witnessed during their stay. They reported that both their room and the public areas of the hotel were not only kept spotlessly clean, but were also very well maintained. There were no signs of wear and tear one often sees at hotels.
positive:
Good location
Guests really seemed to like the hotel’s location, right on Ross Clark Circle. They found that it was convenient being a bit out of the city center. It made travel that much faster, since they didn’t have congested city streets to contest with.
positive:
Rooms pretty quiet
Guests mentioned that, despite being so close to busy Ross Clark Circle, their rooms were actually remarkably quiet. They speculated that the windows must be double or triple glazed with effective soundproofing.
Negative Reviews
negative:
Problems with the reception staff
There were a few too many guests who reported run-ins with the reception staff for comfort. There were many specific complaints, but the upshot of all of them was that guests did not believe that they were very keen on doing their job, and were uninterested in their guest’s needs.
negative:
No breakfast included
Many guests were bitterly disappointed to discover that the breakfast at the hotel is not free. While breakfast is available at a price, some guests reckoned they could get much better value at one of the nearby chain restaurant, like Waffle House.
negative:
Bar and restaurant close very early
A number of guests mentioned that not only did the restaurant close quite early, which was more or less bearable, but the bar closed at the same early hour. They found this absurd, and it meant that if they wanted a late night drink they needed to go out or, rather depressingly, have one in their room.
