What guests think

Across recent reviews of Holiday Inn Express Morgantown by IHG, guests often praise friendly staff and the reliable hot breakfast, while raising recurring concerns about ongoing renovations and occasional problems with air conditioning, hot water, noise, or maintenance.

The location is convenient to the interstate and numerous restaurants. Facilities are mixed: the pool is frequently described as cold, the former hot tub is no longer available despite older photos, and some report gym or ice machine issues and limited on-site vending. Service is generally welcoming, though a few guests noted unresponsive front desk interactions or housekeeping not servicing rooms during multi-night stays. Overall, expect a convenient stopover with dependable basics but some inconsistencies.

I read the reviews before booking and was confused when I arrived. The carpet in the hallways and the room had not been vacuumed in a long time. We found food bits on the floor in our room and something red - tomato sauce or ketchup? - caked onto one of the (white) linen blankets. Overall the hotel needs a cleaning - the corners and sides of the elevator were gross, for example. Chose the hotel bc it has a gym - but the sole treadmill was broken. The only positives were very comfortable mattresses, good coverage by the blackout shade, and especially, the service at breakfast. I was stunned to find soy milk - many thanks to the thoughtful manager / employee who told me he stocks it for health-conscious guests, I’ve never seen non-dairy milk available at a hotel breakfast before - and plain oatmeal packets. That was a real treat, and a very thoughtful touch by that gentleman.

I liked that it was close by to several restaurants. I was extremely disappointed that they had no vending options at all in the entire hotel. Something like that should be posted. The motel 6 next door had them and they would have been cheaper.

Check in was very easy. The front desk person was pleasant and helpful. The room was clean and comfortable. Breakfast had a nice variety and has longer hours than I expected. The pool was freezing. It does stay open untill 11pm. There is an old photo of the pool area with a hot tub, there was even a hot tub timer. No hot tub, sadly.

Great place to stay! Close to a lot of restaurants, gas stations and stores. The staff of friendly and they have a buffet style breakfast. The pool was a little cold but we did get to enjoy it for 2 hours all to ourselves. Our room was very spacious and comfortable. I recommend staying here if you are in the Morgantown area!

Chose this hotel because of the hottub pictured in listing. After hours of driving in a snow storm thats what we needed. Showed up and showed up to find out there isnt one. No one could seem to help with this matter. If it werent so late i would have packed up and went else where. The snack pantry at front desk was pathetic. Three items to pick from. Not worth the price I paid

The initial room upon check in was not cleaned. We had to go back to the front desk to request another room. The second room we received smelled musty/moldy. We only stayed a day but when we woke up in the morning, went to have breakfast, and came back up to our room then a maid walked right in without knocking using the excuse her report said we already checked out. It was only 10:00am. So unacceptable. Very disappointed because we usually have great stays at Holiday Inn Express’ and they’re usually nice. Will not stay here again.

Bathroom didn’t work, couldn't use the toilet in our room. Had to ride the elevator to the lobby to use the restroom. Front desk said there was no one there to fix it. Did not offer us another room. Front desk said the manager would contact us about possible refund or discount. No one ever contacted us.

Property was clean and experience was good after a bad start. Hotel policy is check in time is 3:00 pm. We arrived at 3:15 and was told they are having housekeeping issues and the room style I reserved wasn't ready. The front desk clerk excused himself and returned saying our room would be ready soon. No apology was offered ,just acted as if this is normal everyday practice. What is the use of a reservation if they cant even have your room ready by check in time?
