I like it because it was in a convenient location and quiet. I didn't like that in the room where i stay the tv remote was not working and the air conditioner had to stay on all the time because it didn't shut off! I let the front desk know but they didn't fix it while i stayed. But overall it was a good experience

Expedia was probably the main problem between it all, the staff was pretty friendly the whole time. the shower in our room was dirty (old appliances, nasty looking as well) and the shower head wouldn't hold itself up right. the breakfast was okay but one of the milks we got was very expired and make me quite sick feeling. not the worst, not the best but probably wouldn't stay again.

The property did great! Accommodated things as best as they could last minute. Expedia did TERRIBLE ABSOLUTELY HORRIBLE. My reservation wasn’t there. They took over an hour to reach a compromise and solution when all of the extra run around was completely unnecessary. I don’t think I can book with Expedia!!! Not worth being held up until 11:30pm!

I made my reservation the day before I was supposed to check in. When I got to the property, I was told that they could not honor the reservation because for the past several days they had issues with the plumbing and we weren’t able to wash towels or sheets. They were not answering the phone either. Instead of not taking reservations when they knew they had problems, they booked mine anyway. When I asked the manager why I was not called that day to let me know, they could not on the reservation, he told me the owner was not allowing him call the guests. The manager told me he would take care of my refund through Expedia. I had booked a nonrefundable reservation, but I was not the one to cancel. The general manager did not do this. Expedia was kind enough to investigate my claim, and then they gave me the refund. All in all, this situation could have, and should have been avoided.

Booked a room with a couch so there was a place to sit. NO COUCH. The breakfast was the worst. I generally dont expect much but this was the worst. Windows and walls so thin you heard your neighbors and you might as well be sleeping in the highway the noise was so load. Bathrooms above looked like they had leaked to the ceiling was stained and sheetrock bowing down.

The people who work here are very nice. What i didnt like was my room looked very outdated and the carpet had a smell. What made me just want to leave was when i went for breakfast my first morning and the pancake machine didnt work and that was my main reason i wantes to stay there was for the breakfast. I could've paid $100 less and got a suit next door at Laquinta with a tv in front of the bed and one in the leaving area. I stayed at a few Holiday Inns and this one the worse. One of the elevators even bad. It opens the door very slow like its stuck or something. I wouldn't stay here again. Again the people who work there are nice and friendly. The hotel is just too outdated and cost too much for me

Not impressed and pool closed
Room had old gummies on the floor beside the bed. Water wouldn't get hotter than luke warm. Seen reviews that the pool was closed so i called and the man said it was open. The indoor pool was the only reason we picked that one and when we got t here it was closed. Was told room was non refundable so my 10 year old was not happy. No cable, you have to try and get wifi to work and then sign into your own netflix account (no thanks) and breakfast was very bland and salt and pepper didnt help.

If I could give it a zero I would. First of all, they gave us a room and the key didn't work. So I went and got another key. When we open the door to the room .there were people in bed and my grandchildren saw that. So trying to explain to a 11 and 12 year old what the people were doing in bed in the middle of the afternoon was very unpleasant. Next we booked the hotel because of an indoor pool and of course it was closed. I got charged $5 for free parking. There were stains all over the carpet and furniture . Next time I will go down the street to Hampton Inn and Suites instead of Holiday Inn express.

Overpriced for the quality of place
Came in for run race. Not allowed to have an option for late check-out. If you are belligerent you get a late-checkout option. I lucked out and had a frig/micro/coffee setup. Most my running mates didn’t have a frig in their rooms. My window leaked after a rain and the carpet was soak by the window; they stated they didn’t know that was happening in the room. Pics show it’s been happening for a while Treadmill to do a “shake off” not working. AC doesn’t cool room down even turned to lowest setting

Doors broken into as the locks died but they didnt fix the doors so you can look right through the crack between the door and the trim and see everything that was going on in those peoples rooms!! we had to switch rooms for times to finally get a room that didn’t have a crack in it! Also, one of the staff told us they had a problem with homeless people coming in and trying to break into rooms. The breakfast was OK. The toilet itself rocked back-and-forth like a rocking chair when you sat on it. Huge cracks in the wall like the place was going to fall down. Only one elevator worked we won’t be going back!

Our stay was very loud. Some street noise, but mostly other guests during the middle of the night yelling in the halls and being disrespectful of other people’s stay. Hotel only had one elevator because the other was out of service. Breakfast was terrible. Not even real eggs!! If you’re going to offer a hot breakfast, please don’t offer powder eggs. I’ve stayed at many different holiday inn express and had a much better experience. Lots of obvious patch repairs in the bathroom. Not well done at all
