The conference I was there for was amazing and a great convenience to be right there on the same location. The hotel was comfortable and the service was great but I had an accessible room which was right opposite a noisy ice machine. Also the breakfasts are very average and served on paper plates with plastic knives and forks. I've never seen anything like it. When I pay so much I at least expect real crockery and cutlery.

We were in town for a baseball tournament and stayed for 3 days. Everything was exceptional as far as the hotel. My neighbor was not considerate with their television at 2 am, and the on-call desk clerk tried to assist. The room, pool and food were excellent. The customer service was exceptional.

The hotel was nic, clan and quiet with the exception of the water pipes. We were in a room next to the ice machine and whenever it would fill with water the pipes banged and clanged. It happened after flushing the toilet as well, so that wasa bit annoying. Overall it was a nice stay. I'll remember to ask for a room away from the ice machine and hopefully we wont be bothered by banging and clanging pipes.

Check in was easy. Good parking. Room was pleasant. Shower was strong with consistent temperature. Not a fan of soap in a plunger bottle. What exactly is "body wash"? Bed was very comfortable. Breakfast was very good.

Property was in excellent condition, in contrast to many properties at a similar price point I've visited during the post pandemic era. Attention to detail was excellent. Sheets smelled crispy clean, common areas smelled fresh, breakfast was much better than average for quality of ingredients, quality of coffee, quality of juice. That is, the menu was typical, but the actual fare was much better than average.

The rooms are dated and are not clean. The showers have mold/mildew in them. This is an older property that needs to be updated. It is not up to par with the newer Holdiday Inn Express properties. I paid $250 a night for this ? Thankfully it was only for 1 night.

Bed was awful and hard, hair dryer handle was sticky and dirty, shower head had something going on and sprayed water out of the side; therefore, flooding the floor. Asked for different dryer and more towels, never got towels or hair dryer. To top it off we were charged 2x’s. Hoping this gets resolved. To pay $420 for 2 nights for a holiday inn is ridiculous but then to have an awful bed is beyond ridiculous, my husband who never complains about beds even complained. We may as well have stayed down the road for $77 a night.

Bed was very comfortable with the pillows just ok because they were thin. The one problem we had with our stay (room 224) was that the ceiling over our shower leaked when someone showered in the room directly above ours. Also, it was impossible not to get water all over the floor when showering even with the shower curtain firmly tucked inside the tub.

Will definitely be using this hotel again. The staff is always friendly. Always clean and accommodating. Very easy to find and plenty of food and shopping nearby. Compared to other recent hotel stays, the walls do not muffle sound whatsoever. We could hear someone in the adjacent room urinating. Also, in the morning, it was hours before checkout, and we could easily hear the cleaners yelling to each other about which rooms were still occupied or needing cleaned. It was loud enough it sounded like they were in our room.
