What guests think

At Holiday Inn Express Calhoun South by IHG, travelers frequently praise clean rooms, comfortable beds, friendly staff, and a convenient location just off I‑75, along with a generally well‑liked free breakfast that many describe as plentiful, hot, and satisfying.

Common drawbacks include loud air‑conditioning, traffic noise, and occasional maintenance glitches like faulty TVs, outlets, or door and shower hardware. While cleanliness is often lauded, several reviews cite stained or worn towels, missed bathroom details, lingering odors, or, more rarely, pests. Facilities feedback is mixed: the indoor pool and pet area sometimes need better upkeep, parking can be tight, and a few guests experienced reservation mix‑ups or slow front‑desk response. Overall, expect a convenient highway stop with comfortable sleep and a solid breakfast, but some variability in upkeep.

Check in host not very pleasant. No “hello” or “welcome”. Hotel needs more parking especially if you have a trailer.

Dog walking area was very small and not clean. The waste bag station was empty (even though I carry my own, this does not encourage most of the public to clean up after their pets)

I traveled 8 hours to meet my daughter halfway to drop my granddaughter off to her. We arrive right at 3 (left home at 4 am to get there at check-in so we could spend the day swimming) the pool was like an ice bath. Extremely cold for an indoor pool. The heater was broken. The first room we were in had a leak in the toilet and soaked my clothes that were on the floor while I showered. They moved us to a second room the had a horrible cigarette smell to it. The front desk moved us to a third room and told me to call her and left her know if the room was ok and when I went to call, the phone in the room didn’t work. Highly upset that I paid what I did for one night and wasn’t able to spend the day at the pool swimming.

Upon arrival, the entryway smelled of cigarette smoke, and a had a damp moldy and somewhat dirty, worn out feel. The pool had green algae and some other staining. And the towels smelled of moldy. And the grout and tiles around the pool were disgusting. The room was okay in appearance, nothing to write home about. Sheets *appeared clean* but didn’t smell fresh. And there was some light staining on the duvet. The soap containers in the shower are shared from guest to guest, which I found to be incredibly gross…. especially since they appeared overused and the pumps were broken. There are no fans in the bathroom; resulting in molding from the condensation from the shower. Air conditioning smelled moldy. Overall feel, was damp and the air smelled of cigarette smoke and mold. Staff was really helpful and friendly, but they felt more like casual friends then professionals. In both manners and in appearance. The hotel itself felt safe though. Nothing off feeling. Food was decent as far as a free hotel breakfast goes. It wasn’t worth the price though; you can get a much better experience elsewhere for the amount they charge. But, if you are in a pinch… It’ll do.

Nice property and area but place to take your pet outside was nasty. Garbage full and poop all over may I side. Breakfast was good and pillows good. Priced reasonable. Would have received more stars if the pet area was kept up better. Savana the person who checked us in and out was awesome!

We had to wait 10 minutes for someone to show up at the check-in. There were no towels at the pool, and only two towels in the room. The pool area needed a cleaning, and there was gum in the pool. Breakfast was okay. Bottom line, they need more workers.

Friendly helpful staff. Nice quiet rooms and full breakfast. Even used the business center and it worked well. Room was quite so I slept without my usual ear plugs. Only knock on it was one ice maker was down and another went down over night. Hotels took away the freezer in the room fridges which means load on ice machines is high but it appears everywhere the ice machines are difficult to maintain.

The hotel was very hard to find after turning off of the interstate and then when we found it there was a Baymount hotel right up against it. The foyer for the Baymount could be confused for the Holiday Inn Express. Staff was very friendly and helpful. The walls between the rooms must be very thin as we could hear the people in the next room speaking clearly without listening.

Incompetent front desk staff (including manager). Room was clean but dingy. AC in room did not work properly. Patched holes in tile in shower. I’m not sure the AC in most of the hotel worked (hallways and elevators were very warm). Ladies making and putting out breakfast were very nice. Would not recommend this hotel and will never stay at this location again.

They didn’t save the room we requested. We needed two queen beds and they gave us a king room. They were sold out of what we requested at booking and then blamed Expedia for the mistake when we showed the booking info. They did nothing to correct their error other than canceling the booking for no charge. Terrible experience after driving for 12 hours to get there.

Staff and management were outstanding. The young lady that checked us in was pleasant, welcoming, and efficient. At breakfast two managers greeted us, one asking about our stay. I told her that everything was fine with one minor exception; the air conditioning unit was somewhat noisy. She asked what room my wife and I were staying in. When I told her she said she would have a maintenance man look into right away. It was kind of like when one eats at a nice restaurant and the manager stops buy your table and asks about your meal and service, notices that you need a water refill and gets it for you rather than asking the waiter to get it.

Picked IHG because of past experience but this one did not live up. We needed frig for meds. It was unplugged so I had to crawl on the floor to plug it in after recently having a knee replacement. The light came on though all was not good but never got cold. Shower door off track bathroom floor needed mopped Electrical outlets by bed didn’t work. WiFi wouldn’t let us log in and front desk less than enthusiastic we were told sorry many times but maintenance already went home. And don’t get me started on breakfast. Very stale croissants bagels like bricks help in there wasn’t sure they had more . Next time I’ll stay next door.. very disappointed with Holiday Inn
