Holiday Inn Express & Suites Acworth - Kennesaw Northwest

I normally don't book Holiday Inn rooms by choice, but this was a business related stay. That being said, I didn't really have any issues with this hotel. Front desk experience was very nice; my company booked the room but the front desk associate switched the rate to government when she saw my military ID. I personally love hotels located right behind or next to gas stations, as it makes for convenient access to drinks, snacks, breakfast, and, of course, fuel; this one is located as such. Was impressed by the fact that the room had both a fridge and microwave, which are pretty hard to find. The room always smelled really nice when I came back to it each evening; if that was a factor of housekeeping, that was very impressive and quite lovely. The conditioner/furnace was panel controlled, which is not a big deal, it just doesn't allow you to pick a temperature by number, but instead just the dial. Parking was a little sparse, but I never saw the lot run out of it. All in all, good hotel that did in fact exceed what I expected from Holiday Inn as a brand, but if this is their new standard now, I may have to reconsider where my future stays come from.
