Not the greatest

I go back home and visit with family. The only reason I stay here is because my daughter likes to swim in the pool. This is our 2nd stay this year here. We had to switch rooms due to the smell when we opened the door to the room knocked us on our feet. The bathroom was terrible and honestly needed to be deep cleaned. We switched rooms, not a big deal. Checked in and all was good until we came back from the pool. I left the AC unit on and when we came back to the room, it smelled like cat pee. I figured out the smell was coming from the AC unit and turned it off and cracked the window to air out the smell. We slept without an AC through the night. Next morning we got breakfast which was the only good experience we had during our stay: I told the lady up front the issues as well as maintenance. On check out, I was offered a free snack and 10% off the stay! For what this hotel costs and the location, I won’t be staying here again. Just beware when booking here. Rooms aren’t the greatest, staff is friendly.. however we won’t be staying here again.

It did not meet the standards of a Holiday Inn Express. We have stayed here many times; this time, we saw a marked difference in the condition of the property. This property isn't maintained as you would expect from Holiday Inn Express.

The staff was the best part of this hotel.

All of the employees provided true southern hospitality. My complaint was that there were a large number of children there with sports teams, and they were loud! The rooms didn’t have enough sound attenuation to compensate for all the kids running and yelling up and down the hall.

The staff was nice. The room was clean. The bed was excellent! But the air conditioning did not work properly, high humidity in the room. There are ongoing issues with water at this location. Because I’ve stayed here before and experienced problems. On a previous visit, there was no water in my room, and I was unable to take a shower. On this visit, the first day, I took a cold shower because there was no hot water. Before checkout, I tried repeatedly to reach customer service to request somebody to help me with my luggage, but was unable to get through. I tried repeatedly for 30 minutes. Major issues, however, are air conditioning and water.

The pool and hot tub were closed. I was given conflicting stories why. Front desk said hot tub needed parts. Maintenance guy said cleaning. If cleaning why would you clean during open hours and not closed hours. There 2 days never got to get in and I picked this hotel for the pool and hot tub. Very annoyed at this.
