Last time I stayed in the area, I stayed at a cheaper but totally disgusting place just outside of town...so glad I stayed at the HIX this time. It will definitely be my choice next visit

Room was of sufficient size but far from spacious. The high ceilings made it feel larger but there wasn't a lot of floor space in my room with two beds. Door didn't seem to be level on its hinges as the security bolt (the flippy/slider one) scuffs loudly against itself with every open and close of the door. Sink was slow to drain but we let them know after our first night and it had been corrected when we returned to the room.

Front desk staff was very friendly and helpful on check in. Everything in the room was very clean and in good working order. Towels were okay; better than cheap hotels but a little less quality than I'd expected. Bed linens were good, bed comfortable. Heating unit worked well, room stayed at the requested temp without varying, and unit was quiet. Oddly, no fan in the bathroom, which meant it was like a steamroom after a shower.

This is a "typical" Holiday Inn express, with good sized rooms (very clean), the bathroom was well stocked and VERY clean. The 3rd floor was very quiet, and the lady at the front desk was very pleasant. The shower water pressure was weak, and breakfast nothing special for those of us who try to avoid carb overload. Would stay again.

When staying in this area your options are fairly limited. I've stayed at many Holiday Inn Expresses, and this one is just a tad below average. The tips I can give are to stay away from the bottom floor or rear door rooms. The bottom floor rooms can be 'buggy' during the late summer like when I was there and the paper thin walls leave a lot to be desired. The end room near the door was especially terrible. As soon as I checked into the room, it was the first thing I heard, so I immediately transferred to a different room and lost my King bed. This is when I was placed into the bug room. I was told my staff this is common at certain times during the year. On a final note, don't ever let this staff tell you that you can't cancel a reservation before 6pm. It's a policy with this hotel chain, and they tried on 2 different occasions to not accept my cancellation request around 4pm both times. On a more positive note, the manager was so kind to keep me from walking next door to a competitive hotel when I was told my the front desk that they did not have any King rooms available. While walking out the door, I was called by the manager who overheard and told me to come back and she gave me the King Suite at the standard room rate. To be honest, this is what really saved me in coming back. This trip was for business and I expect to be back again.

Just one place to sleep, the breakfast is free and "the quality is less than basic", services and hospitality are standard of the Holiday Inn. Always make your reservation with a corporate rate is almost 40% of discount; the College community only have the 15% off.
