Lots of hot water but the locked liquid body wash soap bottle rack wouldn’t pump anything out. Same for shampoo, conditioner, lotion, etc. Free breakfast with broken pancake machine having Home Depot clamp on it just in case you didn’t notice it has no power. The juice and drink dispenser only served watered down water but they had iffy tasting “juice” in a pitcher. Not sure

My first wrong impression was upon entering the hotel. No one greeted us as we walked up to the desk. The guy just kind of looked at us. We finally got our keys and my son ask where Room 030 was at in the hotel. An older man was sitting at the desk counting change and he said "Basement" in a not very nice way. Yes, they put us in a room in the basement not far from the laundry room at the very end of the hall. I believe we were the only guests down there! The room smelled a little funny, the carpet was stained and looked dirty, and the bathroom was in terrible shape. It looked like they had tried to paint the bathtub and the paint was all bubbled up, the sink dripped, the wall by the bathroom was all moldy, and old and ugly looking. The bathroom needed to be completely renovated and cleaned!! I didn't even feel like it was very clean. I've never been treated this way before!! We've stayed at Holiday Inn Express hotels quite a few times and have never had a problem. We almost felt like we were being discriminated against!! The rooms weren't cheap. We paid good money for a very cheap-looking hotel room. Such a disappointment!!!

When we arrived, we had to wait 15 minutes for a staff member to show up at the front desk. Once we checked in, our room was in a basement. The layout was strange and we were right next to the elevator shaft. The bathroom shower was not clean, and the fact that all the amenities like lotion and soap were locked to the wall was pretty weird. We were very glad we only stayed one night and hurried out of there in the AM.

We booked this hotel for a fun weekend with family. The pool room was 50° with the air conditioner running in the middle of winter. The breakfast was empty and everyone was upset. The TV in our room was broken. Staff was minimally helpful. Staff finally agreed to give us a refund. Did not actually give us refund. Stopped answering the phone when we called to see why they failed to keep their refund promise. Do not do business with this hotel.

Food was aweful. Some of the breakfast items got finished before 10 am and was not replenished. Breakfast options were so limited like an roadside motel. Pet fees was not communicated at the time of booking. Not worth the Holiday Inn brand and price.

The room we stayed in was disappointing. Water damage on the ceiling/corner right above one of the beds. We had asked for a king bed; got 2 queens instead. Not the end of the world; just generally unpleasant. Nasty hair dryer in the bathroom. Smelled musty. We probably would not stay here again.

Our stay was absolutely terrible. The bathroom toilet leaked on the floor. I called down about it. Nobody came up. They said they would but didn’t, our room phone was dead, we had to use our cell phones to call the front desk. They had boys from a football game staying at the hotel they ran up and down the hallway all evening and night long and above, they ran and ran it sound like a heard of elephants stomping on the floor above us. The worst day I’ve had at a hotel ever. I’ll never stay here again. I would like a refund or a credit or something. It was just terrible.

From a distance, the hotel looks ok but as you look closer, you see all the issues. Hotel is in need of a major update. In the public areas: wall paper falling off walls, exterior doors not working, pool not heated, smells musty and dirty, only a single washer/dryer for guest use. In our suite: air conditioning sub par, room dirty, mattress are old including sofa sleeper, fridge barely kept items cool, bathroom tub wasn't functional, shower head broken, mold growth on bathroom walls, and room needs updated. I would not recommend this hotel especially for the price we paid.
