We have been traveling to the Parke County Covered Bridge Fest for years and have been staying at another near by hotel chain. Two years ago the sold the property and we were forced to try another hotelier were very disappointed in our first choice!!
This year we decided to go with Holiday Inn in Terre Haute.
Prices were reasonable for the Fest season.
Accommodations were AWESOME!!
We booked adjoining rooms and were given great rooms with every amenity the hotel had to offer just steps from our door!
We did have some car trouble on the way in forcing our family to split up and arrive on separate days...THANKS TO THE FRONT DESK STAFF WE WERE ABLE TO CHECK EVERYONE IN AT THE SAME TIME!!!!
They went beyond the call of duty not just once but twice...as i managed to dead bolt us out of one of the rooms!!
Great staff and clean hotel. Â We stayed here for 4 nights and enjoyed every minute of it. Â The lobby lounge is neat and tidy and the coffee machine is #AWESOME (anything Bunn is IMHO). Â The front desk staff was kind, pleasant and had a great vibe about them. Â THe cleaning staff let you know who was in charge of the cleaning and prep of your room (that was a nice touch). Â Our cleaning person (Melissa) took pride in the room and left it sparkling every day. Â She even let us know that my night cap was cute. Â
Free breakfast was #AWESOME. Â THey even have an omelette chef making custom mixes of fillings, etc. Â
I highly recommend this hotel just for the staff. Â it is a 30+ year old facility, but it is kept up well and is clean. Â
If you are points members (Priority Club) the experience is even more personal.
Best Value in Terre Haute. Â
In 2008, I spent 3 months working in Terre Haute on a big project. Â Naturally I got bored staying in the same place, so I shuffled around different hotels nearby, including Hampton Inn, Hilton Garden Inn, Drury Inn & Â the Best Western. Â After lots of exploration, I've found that the Holiday Inn has everything & more for a great price.
If you have a corporate rate, even better (just say you're with the university). Â They'll include breakfast and a drink at the bar Mon-Fri. Â The staff are very friendly, you'd be surprised what you can get just by asking.
