This is a great, clean property with nice amenities such as pool, hot tub, laundry facilities, and breakfast. The only downside is that it’s close to the highway, so I would recommend requesting a room that doesn’t face it so your sleep isn’t affected (if you’re a light sleeper like me).

We stayed here for a lacrosse tournament and it seemed to be a “tournament hotel”. Lots of teams and a Conduct Commitment Document had to be signed at check in. The breakfast was good. They have a good laundry facility, ice on each floor, a VERY small pool (3’ deep) a jacuzzi and a 24/7 sundries/snack shop. Checked the right boxes for this trip.

We normally like Holiday Inn express, however, there was a bedbug on top of the very white sheet, which we had a little trouble killing, we took the bug down to the front desk and a male employee Confirmed it was indeed a bedbug. We had to change rooms late at night, which consisted of repacking all our belongings, putting them on a cart and taking them from the fourth floor to the first floor, which was a tremendous inconvenience. We have filled out one of these forms before and awaiting a reply.

We were assigned a room that had not been cleaned (bed was unmade). Receptionist came upstairs with a new room key. The 2nd room had black hair in the sink and lint on the unvaccumed floor. And the toilet was running constantly. Finally on the 3rd room, we were given a clean, properly prepared room that was consistent with IHG standards.

The property was dirty, we had many issues upon check-in, which we wound up taking about two hours. When we gave 24 hours notice that we would not need one of the rooms for an additional night, the very rude, gentle manager, Kelli, refused to refund us. We are currently fighting that through American Express.

And our wifi was weak and not connecting well. We couldn’t really use the TV either and we stayed for the weekend. Staff wasn’t helpful with this either but oh well. Stay overall was decent and near the area we needed to be.

TV streaming service did not work, when I complained I had a woman and explain to do everything I was doing and it still didn’t work. I guess I didn’t want to watch tv after all

I usually stay at Hyatt's, but was on a bit of a budget and the Holiday Inn was close to where I needed to be. The facilities were clean and well kept, the location for commuting about was great, and the parking was ample. Heck, even the breakfast was better than I expected. The best part of my stay was the service, from the folks at check in to the cleaning staff, everyone was incredibly, smiling, kind and helpful.

Room wasn’t “refreshed” but noticed that my shoes were moved to the other side of the room. Very strange. Who entered the room to move the shoes but did not refresh the room? On our last full day, housekeeping knocked at 3:45pm to come in and I just asked at this point to just empty 2 wastebaskets and I was told no. I then requested again speaking Spanish to the housekeeper who seemed surprised and quickly said yes and took the small wastebaskets I handed to her so she can take the plastic bags from it. My family was in the room and she attempted to go by me to enter and I blocked her from entering and closed the door as she did not speak and why come in if the room is occupied? Very disappointed with the service and felt not safe.
