While traveling to Hilton Head Island we stopped here for the night, planning to arrive at HH the next day. My father in law had made the reservations for him and us (2 rooms: us w/2 adults and 2 kids, and him with my mother-in-law and grandfather-in-law), and when we arrived, check-in went quickly. At check-in we requested a crib for our 2 year old and they were quick to deliver it.

Our rooms were on the 1st floor, the first 2 side-by-side just past the lounge area. Initially I was concerned about noise and traffic back and forth past our room disturbing us and the kids, but the room was amazingly quiet. We were able to leave the A/C fan on continuously and that helped mask any extraneous noises.

There's was a manager "meet and greet" which I thought was a nice touch. The manager was friendly and personable, but not intrusive or "fake". Drinks and snacks were provided (beer, wine, and some very tasty egg rolls and sauce).

The hotel is very near a mall, which was convenient for dinner out that evening. Plenty of places to choose from.

The indoor pool was very nice and we all had some fun there before bed. The beds were comfortable and the continental breakfast was plentiful and delicious, for what it was.

We were so impressed with this hotel that we chose another Holiday Inn Express on our return trip, and had basically the same positive experience. That's very encouraging!

I knew going in that this wasn't going to be a "grand" hotel experience. What I needed was someplace clean and comfortable to land on the way to Asheville. We are a bit picky about hotels: room must be QUIET, beds must be comfortable and all must be clean. I've stayed in rat traps before and don't intend to do so again!

This hotel met all of those criteria. It was also conveniently located near I-26 and very near shopping and two movie theaters.

The room wasn't terribly big, but the beds were nice and firm and the pillows were comfy. I think the beds were doubles instead of queens (I thought they were going to be queens, but I might have misread), so it made for a cozy night for the 4 of us. Everything appeared to be clean, and the hotel soaps/toiletries were really nicely aromatic.

I had requested that we be placed away from laundry, vending and elevators to alleviate odd noises. Whether the hotel accomodated that request, or just happened to place us away from those things, I'll never know. But our room was nice and quiet either way.

My one complaint is with the "free" breakfast. Of course, it isn't free - it is included in the price...an important distinction. If I could take, say, $20 off the room rate ($5 for each of us) and eat breakfast elsewhere, I'd surely take that option. Breads were pretty stale, bacon was dripping grease and the "omelettes" were disgusting! I know that $5 pp would be an exaggerated price for this "meal".

Other than that, I would definitely stay here again if I was travelling in Spartanburg.

Good rooms, clean, wireless high speed, near a mall and a Hooters - no complaints, although on my next trip I'll probably stay closer do the downtown area where this is a nice strip with some good places to hang out. Check out Delaney's and the Monsoon Noodle House. You're right off a few of the main drags, so it's easy to get around.

Brand new hotel, very clean with comfortable beds. The new holiday inn express hotels r awesome. Great breakfast selection, eventhough the hotel is located by the interstate it is very quite. Would stay again!
