Checked into this hotel as a last resort but would not recommend it. The halls and rooms are dark and in need of a good cleaning and renovation. Not what you would expect from a Holiday Inn. As a priority club member, we have stayed at several Holiday Inns and this one is certainly below standards. On the plus side, they did provide a good breakfast and the staff at both the front desk and the breakfast bar were great.

" just let it run for a while, i'm sure it will get hot" No such luck. . There was no hot water at all!
We paid extra for a mini refrigerator, and had to unplug it because it made so much noise.
Our room had a terrible perfume smell, so we turned on the air conditioning to try to get rid of it, since the windows don't open, but we just ended up cold, and since the bed had no blanket, we were cold to start out with.
Yes the pillows seemed old, and the room seemed dated, but our main complaint was that it was dirty, very dirty. There was a chair that you couldn't use because it was so dirty and covered with food, the.carpet was dirty and frayed, and even the curtains were dingy.. We had a queen executive suite which was just a regular room, with 2 beds, there was nothing executive or suite-like about it. We were very disappointed.

I have stayed at other Holiday Inn Express' recently, and I was dissapointed by this one. I am a Priority Club member and always specify NON-Smoking.....from my room I could smell smoke. If my room was NON then it was much to close to a smoking room. The rooms are small but have a TV, a mini fridge, and a nice big desk. The decor wasn't horrible, but certainly not modern. The pillows felt VERY cheap. This dissapointed me because they go out of their way to put these beautiful pillowcases on them saying "firm" or "soft". These pillows all felt the same. There were no blankets on the beds! There was a thin coverlet in between two sheets, but no blanket or comfator. The shower did not stay hot for long enough for both myself and my husband to take showers back to back. The complimentary breakfast wasn't bad. They offered bisquits, scrambled eggs, sausage links and patties, bread/toast, bagels, muffins, cinnamon rolls, pancakes, orange juice, coffee, tea, and hot cocoa. I was very pleased that upon check in (we arrived around 10:00pm) there was fresh coffee made and available in the lobby/breakfast room. This hotel was just average....to me not worth the money and cetainly did not live up to other Holiday Inn Express and Suites that I have stayed in before.

We stayed here on the way to Disney. It was wonderful. The rooms are big and clean. The staff was excellent. The breakfast was excellent. It's just about an hour or so from Disney so it worked out great to get up in the morning and get there and to the parks early on your first day.
