Overnight stop!
Awesome stop on a trip from Nashville to Tulsa. Only negative was not much of a selection for breakfast. Probably my fault for not getting down to breakfast sooner.

Brand new hotel. Everything worked. Staff was friendly and helpful. Great breakfast that included turkey sausage, important for people like me who don't eat pork.

A Convenient and Restful Stay
This Holiday Inn Express off of Exit 3, is our "go to" when traveling I-40 Atlanta to Albuquerque. The beds are PERFECT for us to get a good night sleep along the journey. The continental breakfast was perfect for starting our day. Usually, there's a warm breakfast included but on Christmas Day, the fare was different. The staff was cheerful and welcoming. (For travelers relying on WAZE... Do NOT get off at exit 7!!!)

Internet sucks.
The room is clean and lobby smells good. They really blast their heater in the hallway which could be a good and bad thing for some people. If you stay here to do some work in your computer and need some internet connection, good luck with that. It will keep you get disconnected.
