The staff was very hospitable, friendly and welcoming. The facility was really clean, our room was really clean and fresh, and was cleaned even though we were only there for two nights! The only thing I would add is that we got there when it was really snowing, and the plow hadn't been through the parking lot yet which made parking between the lines of a spot challenging, as well as wheeling our suitcases in. Otherwise, it was great! I always have consistently really good service with Holiday Inn Express locations!

We arrived and checked into our room. I pulled back the blanket and found that the sheets were dirty. This room was also never vacuumed. They moved us to a second room that was supposed to be clean. This room had Cheetos in the sheets. The housekeepers clean the room but apparently do not change the sheets. I then asked to have someone come change the sheets and was told there was no one on staff to do that, but they could move me a third time after saying to me “maybe this isn’t the hotel for you. We can refund you and you can find something else.” Excuse me? I just want clean sheets!! Finally we got a room that had clean sheets. The entire time, we were lugging our luggage and 3 children all over the hotel. The pool is very small and appears much larger in the photos. I wouldn’t stay here again unfortunately.

I really hate writing reviews but i was very disturbed at waking up and looking at the night stand and finding baby ants (lots),on a empty pie container. I cleaned up the area and still noticed ants before i exited room. I even noticed an ant on pillow. You should spray outside. Another thing is there was no bathroom soap in Dove container in bath or shower. We took a bath with the Dove Shampo.

The bed was comfy. The heat was good. The shower was not cleaned. There was more than one piece of body hair in it. There was also trash on the floor behind the trash can underneath the bathroom sink. The toilet also ran for a very very long time to the point where I had to shut the door to maintain a quiet environment.

Upon arriving, we went to check in and were told our room wasn\'t ready yet. We arrived 1.5 hours after check-in started. I asked if we could expedite the check-in as we had a time crunch for where we needed to be (the whole reason for booking the room) and was rudely told "well we are short staffed so you just have to wait". No apology, unprofessional, and rude about it. We did get checked in about 15 min later and the room was dirty. My husband wiped up a small section of the floor that was visibly dirty with a washcloth and it came up black. We didn\'t even feel comfortable enough to shower there. I\'d steer clear and choose another hotel in the area if I were you. The cinnamon rolls in the morning are still good though. Its about the only redeeming quaility, but those are at all of the Holiday Inn Express Hotels.

Our room #107 was dirty, towels smelled bad, fridge was leaking water, and all night we could hear loud noises from level above. We have stayed at other Holiday inn express IHG in the past (ie. Dearborn, Chicago), however this location did not meet our expectations. I will request Hotel Manager to help compensate

This was one of the dirtiest hotels I’ve ever stayed in. Expedia offered no help, and the resort offered no help when letting them know our room looked like it hadn’t been cleaned at all. The bed had a nasty huge stain, the shower had hair in it and residue of products all over. The bathroom floors were disgusting and dirt and other things in every corner of the room.

My second stay at the Holiday Inn Express Auburn Hills South. The staff/housekeepers are friendly and professional. It is a well-kept property, the lobby area/rooms/hallways are clean and well lit. The rooms are spacious and clean, though the carpet in the rooms & hallways could use a good shampooing. The property is located in a business area so it's quiet in the evenings. Look forward to staying again.
