Holiday Inn Express Palestine by IHG

Breakfast was great with so many options

Very nice hotel. The staff was very helpful, breakfast was great,coffee in the room or 24/7 in the lobby. The rooms were clean and comfortable.

We start working at Dawn. They don’t serve breakfast until 630 am so we couldn’t enjoy their breakfast. I think they do that so they don’t have to feed as many people. Most of the people in that hotel are blue collar workers just like us …up at the crack of dawn and out of the door by six. we looked at the vehicles in the parking area. Most of them were trucks. Just like us. Working folks! And most of those guys were gone before we were at 6 AM …And when I tried to make coffee in my room, there was only decaf. I was so upset. I didn’t wanna have to get dressed to go down to the coffee bar and get caffeinated coffee. It was 530 when I got up. I don’t think I’m gonna go back to that hotel to be honest … too disappointing. My partner and I have worked Palestine for 20 years. Almost everybody that stays in this hotel works for a living … using their hands with a skill. Working manually. Five years ago, we did a huge project staying in that hotel for five weeks. We saw the same thing. People that get up really early because of the Texas heat and start working at the crack of dawn. The showers are good. You can certainly take a nice hot shower and rest well because it’s quiet. But just knowing that a whole lot of what you pay for is the breakfast and the coffee in the room, I felt very, very disappointed.

It was very quiet at night. The room was very clean. The bed and pillows were very comfortable and made sleep very easy. The hot food was wonderful and i especially loved the fresh ground coffee. It was super delicious. The hot tub was nice and so was the pool.

Who knows - plans changed and couldn’t make it - and was told “no refunds.” Lesson learned!
