My husband and I stayed here for an anniversary getaway. I was concerned with its proximity to the airport, but only heard 1 plane the whole night we were there.
Work-out room had 2 treadmills, 1 elliptical, 1 bike, and a weight machine.
Pool was open until 11, but very small. It was clean and there were about 12 people in the pool when we were there and there was enough room, however, if you want a big pool, this is not the place for you.
Breakfast was a typical Holiday In Express Continental breakfast. It was only available until 9:30. My husband and I ventured down at 9:21 and the hot food was already put away. By 9:28 everything was gone, the juice machine turned off, and not even a bagel was available. HOWEVER, my husband overheard the lady cleaning up state that she thought breakfast ended at 9, so this could have been a 1 time mistake by a new employee.
Staff was very friendly and helpful. We'd definitely stay there again!

We stayed here in the end of June. The room had a horrible cigarette smell, in fact the whole floor did. The service from employees was very grouchy. No smiles, put-off attitude, and upset demeanor. I would not stay here again.

we had reservations here near the I-X, which was a great location and w free shuttles. we looked at a room first and cancelled our reservations. we were shown a room by the highway and it was noisy as heck. the lady said, really? well, she couldn't hear anything, which my partially-deaf husband could not believe, since he heard it plainly. i hate it when they lie to you. it always leaves me skeptical. they said the other rooms were full-not so if the parking lot was any indication. fortunately, they have a same-day 6 pm cancellation policy without penalty. the bathroom had a very strange smell-well, not so strange, it smelled like someone had not flushed. if this is a cleaning liquid smell, they need to change the product stat! and the price,...well, we went across the street to the best western and got a room for $26 cheaper a night. there was a coupon in the ohio traveler's paper at a restroom stop along the highway that we had picked up and best western was in it. they also had free shuttle. we have stayed in lots of h.i. expresses and this was the first one that didn't meet our standards. sorry. can't recommend.

The hotel was not very busy on the day we stayed there. Perhaps this was why we were upgraded to a room with a jacuzzi tub. The first room we were given completely clogged my sinuses within a half an hour. The front desk quickly assigned us a new room and things were fine. There was just something in that first room that was irritating my sinuses (mold, mildew, cat dander, cigarette smoke covered with heavy air freshner?). The new room was very comfortable with a safe for your valuables. The bathroom was very large and the shower had a good flow, although the shower head was just a little low for my liking. The bed was very comfortable and there were no sounds from the nearby airport. Breakfast in the morning was the usual Holiday Inn Express fare and since the hotel was not very full there was room in the breakfast room to sit. The breakfast staff was very attentive to things.
