Holiday Inn University Plaza-Bowling Green

They were in the midst of major renovations, and I don’t penalize for that. BUT, they also need to try a little harder to make their guest experience pleasant. My biggest complaint is that there was a huge pile of soiled towels and sheets left on the floor of the hallway from 1pm to 2am — and we called down 3 times to let them know. Sorry, that is just nasty. I don’t care if you are short staffed, get someone to take that out of the public space. They also have a breakfast buffet that is very poorly laid out (it was intertwined in the bar, perhaps because of the renovation) but also COLD — cold bacon, cold biscuits and gravy, cold french toast. The syrup for the french toast was on a different table in a giant spiggoted container like you would use for coffee and the only vessel to put the syrup into was cereal bowls… how’s that supposed to work? The omelet station did make a very nice omelet tho the man making them was unsmiling. Our server was s-​l-​o-​w to bring ice water (the only beverage offered beyond the orange juice or coffee on buffet) and she would disappear to chat with other workers around the corner. The coffee was served in STYROFOAM cups. really? the plate are china, why am I drinking stale, bitter coffee in a stryfoam cup?
Maybe when the dust settles (ha, see what I did there?) they will remember how to serve guests… but this stay felt like you showed up a week early for a family visit and your Aunt is annoyed cuz she wasn’t quite ready.
PS: I clicked «pricey» cuz is seemed very expensive for Bowling Green KY.

This is a pretty nice Holiday Inn, with a huge atrium in the middle and glass elevators looking out over a waterfall and a little «river» through the atrium lobby area. I only had an issue once, and it was resolved quickly. The staff are helpful and the location is very close to a main strip with multiple restaurants and bars. The first time I stayed here they had a welcome bag for me for being an IHG rewards member, but on subsequent visits they haven’t had it. It’s not necessary but still a nice touch.
The hotel bar had a major issue running credit cards and I just wanted a drink to take back to my room, so it was kind of a pain. They didn’t seem very apologetic when they were finally able to run credit cards.

Friendly staff, great breakfast and they have pet friendly rooms. We stayed on New Year’s Eve and got a bottle of champagne and chocolate covered strawberries, they were delicious! We also had dinner in the hotel restaurant and we’re not disappointed. The buffalo shrimp and cheeseburgers were great, as was the salad, but I don’t recommend trying to get a steak here. The hotel was beautifully decorated with poinsettia for the holidays, which helped create a relaxing environment to let go of seasonal stress. Besides a few stains on the wallpaper around electrical/​light fixtures, the rooms were quite modern. We’d stay here again given the rare chance to be in Bowling Green.

I stayed there in May for 4 nights because I was on a business trip. When I made reservations I asked the man on the phone if the rooms included a fridge and microwave and he assured me that they all did. When I arrived, they had a welcome bag for me with a water, cookie and apple inside. The staff was very friendly. I went to my cozy room and there was no fridge and microwave. I called the front desk and told them I was assured that I’d have one and he said they all do not have them, but he said he’d send some up to my room immediately for me. It arrived within 15 minutes. That was a great week in a clean and friendly atmosphere.

Very nice for the price and for Holiday Inn. Traveling for business and opted to stay here. Very spacious hotel and rooms are of a decent size.
Free wifi in the room and room ice is offered. It has 7 floors and an indoor pool. golf course next door.

Hi there! A business trip to Nashville, TN and a stay at this place along the way. My aunt, and mother stay at this motel when they when the come for yearly family reunions. This hotel is clean and orderly. The staff greets you with a smile. I’d have to state that their southern hospitality is right on point. The lobby & dinning area has a spacious feel, as the structure is seven stories tall. From nearly every room you can step out of your room and look into the clear space down below. No closed in feeling here!
It also features free wi-​fi, and a free local new paper you can pick up in the morning. Also there’s an indoor waterfall just at the base of the two elevators, which provides a soothing restful environment. You can also barely here the waters sound from your room. I found that the water fall even helped me to fall a sleep easier, as I didn’t sleep on the plane due to a smoker that has ruined her lungs over the years and coughed the duration my early a.m. flight, thus keeping others and myself awake.
Ok, away from my frustration with no sleep on the aircraft and back to the hotel
(that’s a song)! Seriously now! The hotel also features an indoor pool and gym work out facility. Its not new! It’s not real old! But its clean orderly and comfortable. If your not fearful of heights I’d stay up on the 6^th or 7^th floor opposite of the entrance as the view over the land is quite nice… My aunt say’s there’s a shuttle bus that will take you any place locally within the city limits and you only need to tip a couple dollars… always nice to find value… Plenty of free parking…

In general, this is a perfectly nice hotel for the price point. (Although the price point felt a little high for Bowling Green) The rooms were clean and spacious. The bed was comfortable. I am always a fan of free wifi. And the crossword from the complimentary newspaper is a handy thing to slip into your pocket if you have a dull meeting to attend in the adjoining conference center.
The fitness center was a little paltry, but that would have been my only complaint during a normal stay.
But I happened to be staying there when a major storm hit Bowling Green. Huge trees were knocked down in the area around the hotel. The hotel (and most of Scottsville Road) lost power — although the hotel did have back-​up power running pretty quickly. Airplanes were flipped upside down (!) at the nearby airport. Basically, major damage within a block or two in all directions of the hotel — this was not something that passed us by.
It was kind of a big deal, yet staff didn’t seem to have an emergency procedures — or if they had them, there was no effort to move guests away from windowed areas or anything like that. Even though everyone was safe, it just didn’t feel like the most prudent course of action.
It also meant that the wifi and cable were out during my stay. So, I assume they had decent connection speed and channel selection, but I can’t really confirm that for you.

Holiday Inn with an atrium nice rooms and friendly staff

I used to get girls naked in the hot tub here. Never stayed the night though. Seems like a cool place, a friend of mine really likes it.

I don’t travel so much for my job, so I still get a thrill out of going somewhere and staying in a hotel all by myself. Jumping atop one of two beds and throughly checking out every cable option available, reading the room service menu, checking to see if there is a bible in the drawer, smelling the complimentary shampoo, conditioner and lotion, calling the front desk for a shower cap (that I never use). I’m a 6 year old on vacation… at a Holiday Inn … in Bowling Green, Kentucky. I probably only spent 6 total hours in the room, but I must say it did the job. Of course any clean hotel with all the typical amenities is going to do the job for me.
This was just a Holiday Inn, but it was a pretty nice one at that… with a huge atrium with a waterfall cascading down the outside of the elevator shaft, it was really peaceful. I think they do a lot of conferences — as I had a lot of middle aged men in «business casual» attire eager to chat me up in an attempt to «network.»
The continental breakfast was an added bonus… though not complimentary, they helped me out in my fast break for Nashville at 6 am!
