Holiday Inn Select

Wow. What to say about my wedding. I have to say, none of it was my MC's fault. Liz was incredible, very helpful and attentive. Unfortunately the hotel itself made the entire experience very disappointing. The bridal party was given a separate room during the cocktail hour, where the waitress forgot us. My DJ had to go and find someone just so we could get drinks. The reception was so unbelievably hot, everyone was complaining like crazy, it wasn't until my cake melted and my cake topper tumbled down the side, ruining a whole part of it that they turned on the AC. Liz was right there though, she saw the cake immediately and spun it, hiding the mess and notifying me right away. The rest of my reception went smoothly, it was afterwards that left me in tears. First off, when we booked the hotel a year prior we were put under the impression that they would open up their bar, which was usually closed on Sundays, for us. Not exactly how it went. The bar was opened up for the whole hotel, and it was packed. We were pretty disappointed, even more so when my cousin had her camera stolen. Second,there had been a domestic dispute somewhere in the hotel, so cops were there. My friend, who had had alot to drink attempted to take his drink from the reception into the hotel bar, when he was told by the "bouncer" or whoever they had posted at the door, that he couldn't take his drink in he attempted to sweet talk the guy, the guy called the cops over, and after some arguing my friend was arrested. I understand my friend gave them a hard time, and should have been kicked out of the bar, or maybe even the hotel, but ARRESTED?!? My dad got really pissed that the cops would do this at my wedding, and that the hotel had caused it in the first place. The cops then tried to ARREST MY DAD!!! DH's cousin, who is a cop in a different state was able to talk them out of it, thank god. After that whole fiasco we tried to just hang out in the bar a little bit. My friend, who had flown in from the Netherlands, and didn't quite understand much innocently tried to walk into the lobby with her drink. The door guy screamed at her, loud enough for all of us to hear. Perhaps he was worked up from the prior incident, but when Vera's husband came over to try to translate and explain the doorman told him "put your beer down and get the hell out of my bar". It was at that point that my mother demanded the manager come to the hotel. The manager was somewhat apologetic, she offered us soda, and let us hang out on the hotel steps. Seriously? Thats the best you can do? After what you did to my wedding? I would NEVER EVER RECOMMENDED this place. Liz was great, and if she ever worked anywhere else I would totally recommend her, but stay far away from the Holiday Inn!!!

The Holiday Inn Select gives a good price for a lovely venue in the quaint old town of Clinton. The food was excellent and the service was good. The guest rooms were also very nice, neat, clean and well appointed. The front desk people are very friendly and responsive. The only glitch was that while putting together the event, I didn't always get a response the same day. I got the feeling they were somewhat understaffed. When we went the week before our wedding to pay the final bill, the banquet manager had forgotten to subtract our second deposit. In addition, the alcohol free champagne we asked for and reconfirmed several times was completely forgotten the day of our wedding. When we asked we were told they didn't have any. They gave us sparkling cider! In the whole scheme of things, these were very minor occurrences. We had a wonderful wedding there and would definitely recommend them.

We had such a great time and everything looked beautiful. Working with Stephanie was such a pleasure, she was professional and personal at the same time. I would recommend the Holiday Inn Select for any of my friends or family.

Our Photographer was wonderful! We loved the fact that she worked out of her home...it gave us a warm feeling when we met at her house! She was so excited on the upcoming days until out wedding which made us even more excited! She took the best pics and captured the best moments. The very best part of her was that she wasnt bothering us all night for pictures! We had fun and barely knew she was there!!

My husband and I absolutely loved our reception at the Holiday Inn Select in Clinton. The staff was wonderful. I have a lot of serious food allergies and they were very flexible with the menu and very careful not to have any food i was allergic to in the preparation area. To everyone at the Holiday Inn- We could never thank you enough.

All my negative review comments are a direct result of the holiday inn select wedding coordinator and her flowers/cake. Nothing was what we had asked for. The cake was hideous. The flowers were dying and the wrong color and size etc. My husband and I never got any plate of food back in our suite as promised. We ended up going out to eat at 2am to the only diner in the area. Wonder if our cocktail food was edible?! Terrible. This woman Kathi should get as far away from the wedding industry as possible. Nothing was going to ruin our perfect day, but when I look back now at the flowers and cake, I die a little! Ask for another coordinator if you do go with this Holiday Inn.

This is a great place to host your wedding, guests can stay the night afterwards and not have to worry about getting home or drinking to much. Also, they offer discounts on rooms for your guests. We would have our wedding here again anyday.
