"Lake Lanier"

Our Ice Storm stay at the Holiday Inn Express in Gainesville GA was the very best as North Georgia was hit with the worst Ice Storm ever! Now Katie at the front reception desk made our stay so enjoyable as she was so helpful and friendly, she is by far the best of the best. Also everyone working there went out of their way to make sure that we enjoyed ourselves. Tom Everett was also a great man to talk to as he was very helpful too. I have stayed at a lot of IHG properties on my business travels and this one by far is the Best! Thank you, Harry Matthews.
