Everything was good. The only kickbacks where the toilet was small, and the lid was loose. The hand sink water outlet left no room for your hands under the faucet

The set up for the soap, dispensers in the bathroom, or very difficult to use, especially if one has weakness in their hands. They are very hard and stiff. The faucet in the sink is not placed well, and when you open it, water goes all over the counter. People were most helpful. Breakfast was wonderful but the bathroom is not thought out well.

The first room was 58° and the heater was broken. And the sink wouldn’t drain. They moved us to another room. The second room, the toilet didn’t work. The third room the TV didn’t work and it was missing a lampshade. And there was a Band-Aid over one of the electrical outlets. It was otherwise clean.

I have stayed at many Holiday Inn Express and thought they were fantastic, however this location was terrible. I would never stay here again.. Check in was fine, but the room had an odor, the door handle to the adjoining room (which we were not using) was missing the base (attached to the door) and was rusty, the bathroom mirror was cracked all around the edges, the coffee make was on a stand next to the bed and the noise from other rooms and the hall was awful. If this was my first time staying in a HIE I would never be back.

The tv didn't work, the tub needs to be caulked, the bathroom floors looked dirty with the baseboards, and the water pressure in the shower was very low. It took quite a while to take a shower. The large hanging light shade in the corner had splatters of stains on it. The staff was nice and we've stayed there before. I hate it, but we don't plan to go back.

Avoid this dump
Our room had literal holes in the wall. Big holes where the wall was falling apart. The bathroom mirror was broken, caulking around the tub/shower was peeling away and dirty, the rack of shampoo/soap had brown staining on the bottles. This place was a total dump. I have stayed at other Holiday Inns and they are usually quite nice, but this place is far from that. And the smell of the room, and the hotel generally, was unpleasant. Unfortunately i had been driving all day and trying to find another hotel wasn't really an option at this hour, for our one night stay along our trip. And to add to the above, I complained to the front desk and it was completely ignored. As if it was expected and acceptable.
