Everything was really great. Super pet friendly with great rates. The guy at check in was phenomenal. So friendly and welcoming. The room was clean and quiet too. One Star off because our ac would not go lower than 74 despite being set in 70 and the hallway smelled strongly of weed. Thankfully it didn’t come into the room. We would stay again

Stay was good. We had our dog and pet friendly environment was good One problem was that toilet was ridiculously low. I am not handicapped but this toilet was lower than standard height and I am 70 and had difficulty getting up and down and there was no grab bar. It really made stay less than ideal

Overall was fine. Beds were comfy except I had to ask for a replacement comforter because there were stains on the one on the bed. There were some food stains on the ceiling and food crumbs in between the bed and the nightstand. We were on the side of the hotel where there was a TON of noise from traffic. Like sounded like motorcycle races which obviously the hotel can’t do anything about. Loved that it was walking distance to stores and a few fast food places. Ample parking. Breakfast was excellent. The bathroom didn’t have any exhaust fan, which I thought was odd. Hallways were hot as if the AC was off. AC unit in the room worked fine but made a lot of clicking noises and was loud turning on and off.

I stayed in room #109. The bathroom sink and counter had not been cleaned. There was something smeared all over the handle of the sink, it was gross. Counters there had dried water spots and sink had dried something in it. The toliet wouldn't flush properly, there's a brown stain in the bottom inside toliet...the refrigerator wasn't working well at all. Condensation all on the inside. The carpet is very dirty and definitely needs cleaning. I stepped on something sharp so it seemed it wasn't vacuumed or vacuumed poorly. The One decent thing was, the bed and pillows were comfortable. Thank Goodness. I won't stay at this hotel again.

Our room smelled musty and nasty. It was clear the cleaning staff did a "good enough" job on the room before we checked in. Soap and lotion dripping from the dispensers. I am not at all sure the linens were changed before we arrived. They appeared clean, but absolutely did not have a clean or fresh smell.

This was the worst hotel we have ever stayed at. It was absolutely disgusting and so humid in the rooms that you constantly felt damp. The un-used towels were damp, the toilet paper and tissues were damp as well as the bed sheets. We changed rooms and it was the exact same. We also stayed with a group and all rooms had the same complaint. Mold, mildew and so dirty. The roaches on the floor

We told the staff, and they took care of this immediately. If it wasn't for this issue, I would've given the property five stars on everything.

You can always count on Holiday inn Express. They are always clean and the staff is always friendly. The only thing I wish they would update is there technology. You cannot stream TV apps on their televisions because they are not smart TVs. You have to have a Roku with you in order to be able to do that. And you cannot charge your phone if you do not have a cube to bridge the gap between your charger cord and receptacle. There are no places that you can directly plug in a charger cord without using a cube.

Review Title: Terrible Experience – Theft & Zero Accountability I recently stayed at the Holiday Inn Express in Jacksonville and had an awful experience. Items were stolen directly from my room, and when I tried to address it with management, I was unable to reach the manager after multiple attempts. The staff showed no urgency or concern over such a serious issue, and I’ve received no follow-up or resolution. A hotel should be a safe place where guests can trust that their belongings are secure—unfortunately, that was not the case here. The complete lack of accountability or communication from management makes this even worse. I will not be returning, and I strongly advise others to think twice before booking at this location.

The property stated hotels.com did not send authorization for more than one night so they charged my card for the remaining balance hotels.com did not send, after I was already charged the full stay by hotels.com. The front desk and housekeeping manager told me I would have to leave during the middle of my stay due to the issue with hotels.com sending them the balance. It was a nightmare. They said they resolved it, updated my room keys, then continued to double charge me anyway. I had to get both parties involved to work it out among themselves. They made their issue between two businesses MY RESPONSIBILITY. My refund should be issued tomorrow. This was a nightmare!
