(761 reviews) Honestly, this was one of the worst Holiday Inn Expresses that I have stayed at. Everything seemed to be broken or cheaply replaced (maybe they had remodeled it). For example, the door numbers were pieces of paper taped on to the doors. One of the two elevators was out of service. One of the two ice machines was out of service. Most Holiday Inn Expresses rotate some of the offerings for breakfast but it was the same every day. The water pressure and water temperature in the Shower was too weak and never got hot (most hotels hot water on the shower will scald you) and the pressure in the sink was way too high that it would splattered out of the sink. The sidewalks were cleaned off and the parking spots were cleared of snow but they didn't clear the curb at all so you would step in a a small amount of snow which made the parking lot slicker than if they hadn't cleared it. The room did not have a thermostat which made it difficult to keep the room comfortable. Reviewed on Jan 6, 2026 Don't see what you're looking for?
