We have children and the swimming pool was closed for repairs. Understand that the pool needing repairs is out of their control. Holiday weekend with no pool would have a liked a heads up. Very limited channels on the television, upgrading to smart TV’s would be nice! Disappointing in the pool situation. Spent alot of money for a 3 night stay the pool was the main reason for choosing this hotel

There is no working elevator. The front desk clerk says it hasn’t worked for nearly a week and it breaks often. So we had to carry our suitcases up three flights of stairs.

If you do not mind bugs in your room, bathtub, or finding hair in your bathtub the very first night, along with grime around the bathroom, sink, drain and all around the sink, not to mention stains in the bathroom towels then you have the right place. Will not repeat, will not stay there again.

Hotel was not clean, from the crumbs throughout my room chips in my AC vent, dirty microwave and fridge. The halls weren’t clean. It’s like they didn’t have enough staff or the staff wasn’t doing their job. There were never enough towels the front desk gal was on an hour smoke break and multiple guests had to go out and get her. Annoyed especially for the price. Find somewhere else. Not the holiday inn I once worked at. We had standards and rooms were checked before guests were able to be checked in that wasn’t done clearly.

The staff were fresh and new and still learning, but they maintained composure and stayed the course with their customer service, determination to meet everyone's needs, and friendliness. The hotel was very clean and the grounds were well kept. Breakfast was hot and ready to go at designated times with several options for differences in diets. It was quiet, safe and I enjoyed my stay. I will use them again as they are always consistently delivering cleanliness, customer care, and positive attitudes.

I purchased the hotel through hotels.com and paid for the cancellation feature. Our tournament was relocated 3 days prior over an hour away. I tried to cancel, but hotels.com said the hotel after 48 hours would t reimburse my prepaid money. I am very disappointed in hotels.com because I was only able to use the app to ask if I still had the room the day of. NO REPLY We showed up to see if we had a room and we did to find There was leftover food and drinks in the fridge.

She was swampped with people needing help and she was having to call someone on how to help each person/issue. Perfect customer centric person but just needed training on what to do for all issues.

Nice rooms with comfy bed and big fluffy pillows. Shower wasn't the greatest, it leaked water across the bathroom floor no matter how you had the shower curtain, and the water was very hot. Location is convenient to the highway and next to Walmart for any shopping needs. As hotels go, it was a good place to sleep.

The service is fine, the breakfast looked great. My room was pretty clean, but smelled terrible....I thought maybe it was just because air was up high and so maybe it was just stale smelling. I went to dinner hoping that cooling the room off would help, but not really. I had already gotten all of my stuff unpacked or I might've asked to change - I was tired and didn't want the hassle. I have stayed there before and chose it again based on my last experience - it's very conveniently located for me. I might shop around though

We unfortunately didn’t get to stay at Holiday Inn express because they over booked themselves and called us less then 12hrs before we were supposed to arrive and told us they needed to relocate our stay. On the plus side we were relocated to the Grand Hotel Casino which was way nicer and the Holiday Inn Express covered the extra cost on the down side we were supposed to be staying at the same hotel with our entire softball team and because they over booked half of our team was relocated and we were all split up.
