The room was good. Nice that it had a bath tub with it. The water pressure from the shower head was a bit too strong and water got all over the floor because the shower curtain didn’t keep the water in the tub that well. Breakfast was ok. Could have been better with scrambled eggs or French toast or bacon. Sausage links were ok but not that warm. Wish the pool was a little warmer than what it was. The staff was amazingly nice and the older lady who worked the front desk was able to give us more towels and wash clothes very quickly since we only had 2 big towels in our room for showers. Beds were too soft for me and they creaked when you got in and out of them. The pillows were too soft to sleep on.

A great hotel, this is our fifth time staying at this hotel. Always great service and clean, cared for building. Great breakfast options. Nice, clean pool with plenty of towels. Surprisingly, we had the pool to ourselves all three times we went to the pool during our stay. The only downfall to our stay this time was that they have Dish TV service and no local channels. So no NBC, ABC, FOX, or CBS. We were staying for a fun New Years Eve trip and wanted to watch the NYC ball drop on ABC. We ended up having to watch coverage on CNN which was disappointing to say the least. Hotel is near plenty of restaurants, stores and a shopping mall. Great area.

The breakfast, like all Holiday Inn Expresses, was wonderful. So many choices. The pool was well maintained and the kids had a lot of fun in that. Everything was clean and very new looking. Great location. Staff was very friendly. Expedia was how we reserved our stay. We put a note on our reservation that we needed a crib. We even got an email confirming they would have a crib for us. When we got there there was no note for them and they did not know we needed a crib somehow. But thankfully they had one and brought it up to us immediately.

Our room smelled horrific. We went down to the desk and complained but the hotel was booked so they couldn’t move us. They gave us a spray for the carpet but even that didn’t help. They said they would note it on our file but when we went to check out and to ask if there was anything they could do, they said there was no note in our file and maybe next time they would give us a discount. Well that’s never going to happen because we’re never going to stay there again!!

The front staff was amazing. The pool was nice, and my son and I really enjoyed the breakfast. I would have given 5 stars, except the housekeeping is absolutely HORRIBLE. There were literal feces in our bed. It was very, VERY obvious, too. So, either, the housekeepers saw it and ignored it, or did it themselves. The man at the front desk bent over backwards to help fix the issue, and I really appreciate it. However, I would seriously consider getting new housekeepers. It was a nice hotel otherwise.

The bed was clean and comfortable. The bathtub did not drain properly, which led to 2” of water in the tub while showering. The complimentary breakfast was the worst I have had in many years. The selection was poor and what was offered was either stale or was not appetizing. The other hotel in the area is much better overall.

Another employee very helpful, however not present at desk...waited a few minutes for him to appear at front and recognized him as the employee who answered the phone when I called for a copy of my bill after the stay. I never received the bill via email as he indicated he sent. Overall, clean, well kept property

Everything was great until the day of check out. The houskeeping staff walked in on my fiancé without knocking or saying anything. Except for sorry after they were in the room. And then we went to eat, down at the lobby and take everything to the car. We went back up since we didn’t check out yet and the staff already got into the room to start cleaning etc. 3 hours before our checkout time. Felt pressured to leave when we paid for that room for till checkout time.

We stayed for one night. Our neighbor was so loud we called 4 times from 10pm till 2am filing complaints on the noise. To put in perspective how loud this couple was we were on the 3rd floor, and the staff told us the next day they received complaints from people on the first floor about them. The staff did nothing about the noise until 2am and by then we were so worked up we got no sleep. We spoke with the morning staff and they wouldn’t issue a refund, and told me they’d send me points and I never got the email. So overall HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE

To be greeted by an animal at the front desk is appallingly thoughtless. Many people are allergic to dogs and cats and many are highly fearful of dogs for many reasons. This is totally unacceptable and the fact it was not on a leash and allowed to roam added to the lack of customer care.Suffice it to say we will not be staying at this hotel ever again.

We recently spent two nights here. The hotel is in a very convenient area - very close to the highway, tons of fast/casual dining less than 1/2 mile away, walkable gas station, mall less than 1 mile away, Walmart across the street… literally perfect spot. The hotel itself was very clean and fresh. The free breakfast was really good and had a really large variety of foods. The indoor pool was nice! We will definitely stay here again if visiting the area.
