Great hotel venue

Sleeping room block. Everything was great! They handed out gift bags for our guests at no extra charge. We're going back to them for a birthday party soon. The staff was excellent and they gave us a good price even though it was a very busy weekend and they were almost sold out.

We had such an amazing wedding here! The hotel was able to accommodate our ceremony and reception. The staff was super helpful and they took care of set up in between ceremony and reception, which was AWESOME. Their food was so great, the chef was amazing. Such a great place for weddings! I am super appreciative of Erica, she was so helpful with decisions and made great suggestions. Thank you so much Erica and Holiday Inn staff!!

When we first began the process of looking for a venue for our ceremony and reception, Erica at Holiday Inn was the most responsive person we talked to. This continued through the entire process of planning and the actual wedding. Erica and the rest of the staff were so willing to work with us to make the day exactly what we wanted. They went above and beyond what was required or expected to help make the day as easy and low stress as possible. Many people commented to me through the weekend how impressed they were with Erica's willingness to help us out. We also got many comments on the food, which was fantastic. We were blown away at our tasting and I think our guests were blown away at our wedding. I truly cannot say enough nice things about Erica and the Holiday Inn. Our wedding this past weekend was a huge success and it was largely in part to the staff at the Holiday Inn.

This was a FANTASTIC venue for our wedding reception. We had a lot of guests from out of town, and it was very convenient and our guests enjoyed having the weekend to mingle all at 1 location outside of just our reception. Very conveniently located off of the interstate for travelers and at the American Center is slightly out of the traffic/congestion of the East Towne Mall area, yet just minutes away. Erica was wonderful to work with and took care of every single detail to ensure our day was beautiful and perfect! The food was fantastic; we heard guests say it was the best salmon they had every had and the BBQ bacon-wrapped pork filet was delicious!! The bartenders were amazing and overall my groom, all of our guests, and I had the BEST reception! Thank you Erica and all of the wonderful staff at the Holiday Inn!!

What a wonderful place to have a reception, especially if your count is around 150 like ours. Erica and Kelsey were accommodating and prompt with their communication and flexible to make our wishes work out perfectly. Everyone from the chef to the hotel staff to the hotel bar staff was wonderful and really made our guests' (and ours!) experiences excellent. We have already heard numerous compliments about our guests entire experience. Thank you to them for a great wedding reception!

Our daughter's wedding reception at Holiday Inn - Madison at The American Center was a big success. This was due in large part to Kaitlyn, the Catering Sales Manager, who was a pleasure to work with from beginning to end. Her professionalism was obvious and she made many excellent suggestions which we were happy to accept. She was very kind and patient in dealing with our families and guests. Her calm and reassuring demeanor was much appreciated, and she handled every question and request thoroughly and with a smile. She kept the reception planning process and the “main event” on time and on budget. Our guests raved about the delicious hors d'oeuvres and entrees, calling them the best they had ever tasted at any wedding event. Thanks to the entire staff at the Holiday Inn at The American Center!

Kaitlyn and her staff were incredible!! She handled both my and my parent's requests/concerns with ease and made everything so easy! I sent her so many e-mails asking her things and she never made it seem like a bother. Our wedding reception was beautiful and didn't cause me stress at all. I wish I lived in the area and could have more events at this location!!

Kaitlyn sold us on what Holiday Inn has to offer! From planning to pricing, the food to fine details. We had the most amazing experience working with Kaitlyn and the catering department. Our guests have given us infinite compliments on the food and the venue set up/ decorations. Our vendors and guests said it was the best wedding they had been to, and we couldn't agree more! The staff was friendly and professional. Everything was amazing!! Thank you!

Kaitlyn was absolutely wonderful to deal with. From the moment we met Kaitlyn we knew our wedding reception needed to be at the Holiday Inn. Everyone who works at the HI was very easy to deal with. They all make sure that your day/celebration will go flawlessly. Our guests commented that the food was awesome, great tasting and plentiful. Kaitlyn even went with us to event essentials to help us retrieve the right color pipe and drape. She defiantly goes out of her way to make sure you have a great day. When you send communication to her...she responds promptly. We even asked if she lived there because she was very responsive. If you book your event at the HI you will have no worries.

we just want to take the time and thank you. The event would not have been such a success without that wonderful help of your staff that was very professional and very well trained. And our special thanks definitely goes out to the manager (Kaitlyn) that set up everything and made sure our beautiful day was a success.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
