Great Hotel
Yes, I recommend this property.
THis hotel is a very good and very clean hotel.
However, they do NOT honor Tax Exempt certificates from Federal Employees.
We are Tax Exempt on Day 1 as well as Tax Exempt on day 91. Your policy of not accepting a tax exempt until after 90 days is bogus at best.
I can fix this, I can stay at another hotel. However, I do prefer Holiday Inn Express because of their breakfasts of biscuits and gravy plus their cinnamon rolls.
But every time, a hotel fails to honor my tax exempt letter, I have to write out a note that I tried to get it but the hotel would not honor it. That is a waste of my time and a waste of tax money that the hotel is NOT entitled to.

First time I had stayed in an AVID. Nice hotel and nice breakfast. Great staff. Only thing I would recommend would be mayo or mustard packets for the breakfast sandwich.

This is a great hotel. They are currently updating the hotel and the new shower head is excellent. They weren't serving breakfast but they did have good substitutes. Things like Jimmy Dean breakfast sandwiches and such. However, I did miss the biscuits and gravy - my all time favorite breakfast.

This is a very clean hotel and the staff is great. I love their breakfast offerings. I've stayed here many times.
However, my bed this time was soft like a feather bed. As a result, I had back pain for about 3 days. As a result, unless I hear that have have upgraded their mattresses, I'm going to be hesitant to stay here again.
Also, I did NOT get my WElcome Points.
