We got there and found out the pool was closed for painting, have 2 kids that wanted to use it. Asked for a discount, was told it had been posted on the website since December, we did not see it. No discount. Next day the hallway and our room reaked from the paint fumes from it, staff couldn't care less. Continental breakfast was good and staff attentive there. Beds were comfortable. Our fridge and microwave were just sitting on the floor of our room, weird.

Beds were reasonably comfortable, breakfast was excellent, room was clean, water pressure in shower was great. No housekeeping while we were there and had to request towels be replaced (and nowhere to hang to reuse or hang bathing suits). Hand soap was somewhat inconvenient for a child to use, placement was too high near sink. Pool was closed for service on our last night/morning which was disappointing for children, also water in pool was rather chilly. Aside from those minor issues stay was great.

Needs a lot of updating. Elevator floor is ripping up in places and dirty. Carpet is old and dirty. Beds were comfy. Tried to call down to let them know the toilet wasn’t draining properly but got put on hold twice (he was the only one on duty and was checking in people), so finally went down and was handed a plunger. We fixed it.

Breakfast was not the usual for This chain. Carpet was dirty and dingy bathroom had mold behind the dated wallpaper. Sorry never at this location again

The room was clean and the breakfast was good. The big problem was the air conditioning unit which would switch off after a few minutes. Eventually, after an hour the room was cool enough to sleep but only when the outside temperature was the same as what we needed. The maintenance person was slow and couldn’t help. The front desk only told us that the hotel was full so there weee no other rooms. No one even said Sorry until checkout. Clearly it’s time to change AC units.

Plumbing was in poor state of repair. The sink faucet was leaking. Room 305 The air conditioner didn't work correctly. The thermostat was set on 60 degrees and the unit only came on maybe once an hour. The room temperature had to be in the 80s. Poor sleeping environment. I covered with a sheet only and still sweat the bed wet.

It was quiet. The food was standard. The building was clean. The staff were kind and helpful. As for the building itself, it seems to be aging. One of the curtains was missing from the window. The plaster was crumbling in certain areas. The room design was very utilitarian with no aesthetics and what appeared to be eclectic arrangement other than the central location of the bed.

This hotel is way past its prime. Probably the worst Holiday Inn Express I have ever stayed in. Bathroom fan was broken. Air conditioner made rattling sounds all night long. Toilet was only a foot off of the floor. The elevator was not constructed to accommodate a cart. Shower was great. Breakfast was fantastic , but I would not stay here again.

Decent sized pool - always appreciate not having to turn so many times when swimming laps. The highlight of this hotel is (always has been- have stayed here multiple times) the breakfast attendant- he stays on top of everything which is a great amount of choices - he asks how it is, will even remove your plates if your sitting conversing when done. This man deserves a raise!!
