Not the most up to date hotel, but it was clean and the bed was comfy enough. It's a bit of a maze getting to the elevator from the front. The front desk people were terrific--they welcomed us back every time we walked in the front door. There's a free shuttle that will take you anywhere within a two mile radius which was very convenient.

Wanted to stay near Charlestown but not at casino. Charlestown is less than 2 miles away (and the casino is across the street for those who want it!). Bonus, they provide a shuttle - on request! - and will taken you and pick you up anywhere within 2 miles. Also has a nice outdoor pool which most area hotels do not.

The breakfast in the morning was probably one of the best we've had at any hotel chain. Cannot say enough good things about this Holiday Inn Express.

Upon check-in desk clerk kept reiterating problems with system and room to me but not to woman who just checked in, in front of me? Very odd. Room was NOT cleaned. Hair all over toilet and floor in bathroom and on the towels. Disgusting. Pins and Bobby pins on the floor carpet in front of dresser where you walk. Worst thing was AC, it was 78 degrees so we turned AC DOWN and waited and waited it went up to 79 and felt as if it was just the fan on. Went and told him and he never said sorry, he tried telling us that’s normal?? We demanded another clean room with working AC. Next room was clean, but the AC thermostat in this room is on a motion sensor and it doesn’t come back on until you wave or walk in front of it. So when you’re sleeping all night and wake up sweating because the air has NOT turned on at all, it’s not a very pleasant stay. I would NOT recommend this hotel at all.

To begin with, Alyssa did a fantastic job of checking us in. Although it was her first solo night at the desk, she was fast and pleasant. The hotel is older, but everything was clean and inviting. The mattresses were firm, and the most comfortable that I’ve ever experienced in a hotel setting. The water pressure in the shower was great and there was an ample supply of towels. Although I skipped it, my husband enjoyed the breakfast.. Finally, the price was equal to the value of the stay. We would definitely stay here again.

The staff was fantastic! Very friendly and helpful. The shuttle offered was very convenient for getting to and from the nearby casino. Breakfast the following morning was plentiful and continuously kept stocked/clean. The room was clean and free of bugs but you can tell they need to do some renovations. Stains on the ceiling above, some broken parts of the ceiling looking cracked. Bathroom was a little grimy. Mostly from age and the fact that there was no working fan to dissipate humidity. You can tell it’s damaging the walls and such. Very quiet. I barely heard any other guests.

This property is out of date. When we entered our room there was a musty smell. The furniture is old. The room was outdated. When we turned the water on to shower there was a high pitch squeal the entire time. The tv had to be no more than 30 inches. Very small. I would not recommend or return until there until some major updates done

Check in clerk was very professional in all aspects. The room was very clean and quiet. The only negative aspect is that the A/C unit was quite loud, turned it off at 1am and could hear A/C units in other rooms. Breakfast had a large selection of items with an attendant that kept everything stocked. Check out clerk was very unprofessional and appeared she just woke up and did not want to be there. Better value than hotels closer to the casino/racetrack, will stay here again.

No smart TV so we couldn't cast from our computer. Channel list only--no guide. Asked for additional blanket and were told they didn't have any. Asked if we could have comforter from empty room and were told they were full. They were definitely not full as there were very few cars in the parking lot. We were asked upon arrival if we were IHG members. We said we weren't, and he signed us up. We WON'T be using it!
