avid hotel Perry-National Fairground Area by IHG

We booked this hotel at the last minute, having no previous information about it. It turned out to be a wonderful choice. Good location. Close to the interstate, but not noisy. Incredible service by the young man (Neil) at the front desk. Breakfast was surprisingly tasteful. Room is clean and efficient. Would definitely stay here again.

I had a fantastic stay at Avid Hotel Perry. From the moment I checked in, the customer service was excellent—friendly, efficient, and genuinely welcoming. The rooms were VERY clean, which immediately stood out and made the stay feel comfortable and stress-free. The hotel itself feels fresh, modern, and up to date, and it appears to be fairly new. The amenities were another big plus: a great gym with solid equipment and a clean indoor pool, both of which exceeded expectations for a hotel in this category. What really sets this place apart is the incredible value for the money. It truly outshines other hotels in the area in terms of cleanliness, quality, and overall experience. I would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone traveling through or staying in Perry.

Terrible place to stay. This hotel is not only nasty, but the managers and staff look nasty. We had to go to the front desk to get our soap, our towels, and our tissues. The breakfast area was awful with very little food to offer. This may just be a reflection of the town in general as the eatery’s were close to the same.

The hotel was spotlessly cleaned and convenient to the interstate for travel. The beds were very comfortable. The AC in the room did not seem to stay constant but kept getting very warm, then cold for a while. There was not a microwave or coffee pot in the room. There were no drawers to store your items. If you just want a great bed for a quick stay it would be perfect. However, this hotel was not the quality I expected from an IHG property.

The evening staff was responsive and attentive to our needs. The 24 hour coffee bar was a nice gesture. HOWEVER, the cleanliness is not comparable with other hotels at this price. The bathroom sink drains poorly, and we found a significant amount of dirt inside the sink, including contact lenses left behind by the previous guest. The soap and body wash dispensers are old and difficult to press, and the shampoo had run out and was not refilled. There is no bath mat provided in the bathroom, and due to the design of the shower door, the floor remains constantly wet. At 10:00 PM on December 28, 2025, a hardworking front desk staff member was also covering housekeeping duties. After receiving our call, he promptly brought the requested items to our room. I felt that due to negligence in clean
