“Seriously in need of cleaning! (and a night staff that knows what they are doing)”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 22 December 2010

We stayed here with two other parties from our family for a funeral. Upon arrival we were greeted politely and the check in was smooth. We went up to our room and it was small as other reviews stated. What was not expected was the smell! It took us a bit to figure out what it was and as far as we can figure, it smelled like urine!!! NASTY is all I can say about that. As for the rest of the room, the bathroom was not very clean, the vent was caked with dirt and dust. The corners and baseboards of the room obviously had not been tended to in some time. The walls also had what appeared to be 'splatter' marks on them. We also saw what looked like blood on the elevator wall. The two other parties with us were charged 90 dollars extra than what they booked for online and when they brought it to the attention of the desk the morning of check out, he had no clue what they were talking about nor how to fix it. He said that it must be that the estimated taxes went up?!?!? He then had them wait until the manager could come in so that it could be remedied. This same person was unable to find hot cocoa mix for the beverage area at breakfast. And speaking of breakfast, it was fine.... except there was no fruit as stated there would be. The area this hotel is in is not the best.... We will certainly not be returning.

“Another enjoyable stay!!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 11 June 2010

This was my 2nd stay at this hotel, stayed 4 nights. Chose this hotel again because it is close to where our family lives.

Basic hotel, nothing fancy, but great service. Staff is friendly. Used the outdoor pool this time twice, very clean and nicely landscaped. Used business centre in lobby as well to print boarding pass. Extra towels provided as requested. Pop machine on each floor, snack machine just off lobby.

Highly recommended if you are wanted a clean basic hotel.

“Back to the 80's. The worst breakfast”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 11 June 2010

Stuff of the hotel was really friendly and nice.
As soon as I opened the door of my room I was disappointed. The room was a half size of usual room of Holiday Inn Express for the money. The bathroom was so tiny, that once you open the door and get in you literally cannot close it unless you stand on the sink or the toilet. There's a huge TV in that tiny room, so when you sit on the bed it is like the first row in cinema. It is uncomfortable. Room didn't have a fridge. It is just not convenient. Hotel doesn't have a restaurant, so you have to get out to the town to eat. Neighborhood is scary - bars on the store windows, lots of homeless people around. It is right next to the HWY. Fast food is all over the place which I do not accept.
The famous breakfast in Holiday Inn Express was terrible. Eggs and sausage was so heavily salted I couldn't believe it. They keep only fat free and low fat milk, which is not good for people who wants to stay healthy.
I had to stay there just because it was no other decent hotel in the area.

“Horrible Hotel”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 24 May 2010
1
person found this review helpful

There were unauthorized charges to my credit card which the hotel refuses to correct. After months of misleading me they were going to remove the charges they still have not done do. Now the Manager, Ellen, even after agreeing to remove the charges stated they have no intention of doing so. Very rude and dishonest.

“Why even have a business center??”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 6 October 2009

person found this review helpful

It seems that every one of these low end Holiday Inns that I frequent has a non working printer in the business center. Why bother? Really!!!! This hotel is in desperate need of it's makeover. I have quite enjoyed the "new look" HI but this one has not been renovated, and oh, did I mention that the printer in the business center did not work. Very annoying!
