“You get what you pay for. Ok but nothing special”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 20 November 2006

person found this review helpful

We wanted a decent hotel close the the I75 and didn't want to spend too much. The holiday inn express chain is usually pretty consistent and yet somehow this one just falls short of the normal quality. It is very conveniently located just minutes from the I75 in an area with a lot of other hotels. There is certainly nothing wrong with the hotel and it is miles better than some of the cheap hotels I have tried. However compared to the quality of the chain I have come to expect it just falls short. There is nothing painfully wrong and at checkin the staff we certainly very friendly but once we got to the room it felt jaded the paint was flaking in a couple of places in the bathroom and the bedroom didn't smell as fresh and new as we'd have liked. The breakfast room was small and cramped. Then again we had paid less than $70 with our AAA discount and even with my minor complaints this is good value.

“Extra special”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 2 June 2006

people found this review helpful

This was the first hotel we have stayed where it is 100% non smoking. No bad smoking smells found in the hallways or around the building. It was great. The staff was excellent as well. When we checked in, I asked for a map of the community as we wanted to see some historical sights. When we went to supper, the young man had produced two individual maps for us so we could easily find where we were going.

The rooms had recently been remolded and everything was sparkling clean. The breakfast area was well stocked with food and we had plenty to eat. The swimming pool was warm. Restaurants were close and wihtin walking distance. If we return to Lexington again, we will stay here.

“Super Place to Stay”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 21 November 2005

people found this review helpful

This was a super place to stay. Located on Elkhorn Road, this Holiday Inn Express now resides on a former horse farm. The surrounding area is developed into homes and a huge shopping center. We were given an upgrade to a room with a jacuzzi. The buffet breakfast was way over the top. They offered boiled eggs, bagels and cream cheese, toast, muffins and pastries. They also had hot and cold cereal and juice, and fresh fruit in a basket.
The manager also helped us keep some frozen things in the freezer of the refrgerator in their office.
The towels for the jacuzzi were big and fluffy. The lighting was very good and the television had plenty of channels.
There was absolutely no skimping here in any way. I really recommend this Holiday Inn Expres.

“So-so....”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 19 June 2005
3
people found this review helpful

I stay at Holiday Inns almost exclusively and this one has some goods and some bads, to say the least. The negatives: Firstly, we had to hunt down the desk clerk to check in. Secondly, there was only one of the four of the living area lights functional due to either burned out light bulbs or bulbs missing completely. The front desk NEVER answered the phone when we called down to report the lighting problem nor when we tried to leave a wakeup call. And the Hustler Video sex shop right across the street (not the hotel's fault, I understand, but) could pose some interesting challenges for travellers with children. The positives; clean, convenient location and the air conditioning in our room was quiet enough. For an overnight, I guess it worked ok for us, but wouldn't take too much to woo me to another hotel location....

“You get what you pay for!”

Staff at this hotel are so friendly it almost makes up for everything else.
As a business traveller I had to stop staying there purely because of the dreadful, old air conditioners. They make more noise than a mack truck and woke me constantly throughout the night. I am a heavy sleeper, so to be woken by A/C is a sign its time to replace the units. I have stayed here several times and it was always the same. A basic breakfast is provided, so if this is a pitstop for you and you are on a budget, then its a good bet - it is clean and has a small pool.
