What guests think

At Holiday Inn Express & Suites New Castle by IHG, travelers often praise the friendly staff, hot breakfast with good variety, and generally comfortable rooms with cozy beds, making it a convenient stop for road trips and nearby visits.

However, several reviews report inconsistent housekeeping, including missed cleanings, leftover trash or hair, and occasional dirty bedding. Guests also note maintenance and facility issues such as pool closures or grime, tricky shower controls, unreliable Wi‑Fi, temperature controls that misbehave, and some noise from a busy road or from rooms above. A practical choice for convenience, but inspect your room and amenities on arrival.

Staff friendly and welcoming. I was staying for an extended period of time so I needed to have microwave functioning, there was no microwave plate. Floors aren’t vacuumed, they use a lint roller on them. There was a cherry stem and dead bugs on floor. Shower curtain had no liner so curtain was getting soaked and wetting floor (yes I moved it into the tub). There was no DND sign- was able to get from front desk. Pool area shower not functioning to rinse off. Some sort of broken equipment next to pool. Pool was gross. Beds were good. Garbages are tiny, barely fits anything.

This was a wonderful stay and the staff was excellent. I did had an issue with my first room. , but they were on it to make sure we were satisfied. The elevator rug was dirt but look as if it needed to be replaced. I would recommend if there is no smoking in the rooms that there should not be smoking on the premises. Smokers do tend to bring the air of smoke into the rooms. Plus, smoking should not be in the front of the lobby where guest are coming in to stay as most people who are coming are nonsmokers. The carpet over needs replacement. I would stay here again. But just some tweaks would give this place even more five stars.

The hotel was itself was ok, but when we were checking around our room to pack we found an old chicken nugget under the bed as well as a dirty kids toy and a crumpled tissue in the closet floor, had I found that initially I would have probably asked for a different room but since we were leaving it seemed irrelevant however it would deter me from recommending it in the future. The side exit door did not close properly and there were all kinds of dead bugs on the floor around the door, that didn't bother me as much but concerning that it was not cleaned up from day to day. The staff was absolutely wonderful and had I found these issues before leaving I suspect they would have had it addressed quickly.

Staff was friendly, breakfast was great. When we checked in the first room we were given had an unmade bed and towels all over the bathroom sink. They gave us a new room. In the morning we noticed the previous occupant's clothing hanging on the hook behind the bathroom door. They need to pay more attention to cleaning

The first room we entered smelled terribly of urine, and there were dirty washcloths in the bathroom. The hotel moved us to a new room (the room next door), and it was better—at least no bad smell. But the hotel was dirty all over. The staff acted shocked that we found their hotel lacking, but it was clear that they don't run a tight ship there. After we left, they charged our credit card for a night's fee even though we had paid for our one night there through Expedia. We've been fighting to get our money back. Expedia says the hotel is refunding our fee, but it still hasn't come through six days later. I would definitely not recommend this hotel.

Everything was fine but i booked a room for 4 people. The sofa bed did not have pillows or blankets. When we called and asked I was told that if we sent someone down to the desk we could have a pillow but they didn’t have any blankets. 🤔 a hotel and no blankets????? Also, there were 4 of us- we got 3 towels. Couldn’t get ahold of housekeeping or the desk to get more. Our second day…we were given 2 towels. The soap pump in the shower-yes you have to use the same dispensers as every other guest who has been in the room.

Phone in room said dial 0 for front desk but did not work. Phone at front desk said pick up and wait for answer, nobody answered. Sign in room offered complimentary items if you forgot them, the front desk charged for them. I went to the local gas station as it was cheaper. Room cost $50 more than it was worth for the area. Bed was really low and really noisy but I had the disabled room so maybe that’s why it was so low. Everything worked, water pressure was good, hallways and rooms were clean and the housekeeping crew was very friendly.

Room is clean, breakfast was great, customer service was fine. Most other hotels I've been to leave lotion in the room for guests. Unfortunately the bathroom has a sliding door, and it did not work correctly. I made a ton of noise opening and closing which is not helpful when people are trying to sleep.

The place was pretty empty and she put us on the 3rd floor or top floor. When we walked in the room was 55 degrees at 7:15 pm. It took a long time to warm up and the halls in the hotel were about the same temperature. Then we finally got it to about 70 degrees and decided to turn it to 69 and then during the night the thermostat did it’s on thing it started going up and we were woken up by it rising to 74 degrees on its own. This thermostat we found out after 3 days staying there that it had a mind of its own. The Wi-Fi was terrible!! And the refrigerator made dinging sounds through the night . So now by this time I had , had enough. So I went downstairs and I said I wanted a different room because of the problems and she said okay. But no apologies ever from anyone there. I told the one woman the next day that my card key didn’t work. And I explained to her all the things that had went wrong and she said we haven’t heard and complaints about these things, she said this is the first time I have heard of this. Never apologizing or manners. I would never stay there again!!!

We are a family of 10 and booked two rooms online for our cross country trip. We arrived around 7 pm and were told it would be 30 minutes to get the rooms ready. After going across the street to eat we came back 45 minutes later and we’re told only one room was ready. We went to that room and found it stripped of sheets and it had not been cleaned. Our third trip to the front desk was no better. Ultimately it took them almost two hours to get our room ready. Mind you we had many small children who were tired and cranky. The front desk clerk had parked herself on the couch in the waiting area and was reading some sort of paperback novel and wasn’t concerned about our kids waiting in the area. Totally disgusted by our treatment.

We booked this hotel for 2 days, and we had 4 rooms. The incompetent staff members, checked out one of our rooms and gave it to another person. Then to make it even better, they charged me 3 times for each room. The lovely manager there, swore it wouldn’t happen because of “all her years” of experience and I told her I’ve been down this road before. Let and behold, I’m fighting charges from them now. The place was clean and good but the staff there made it absolutely horrible. I would rather sleep in my work truck then have to deal with them in the future.

The surroundings of the hotel were ugly . It was on a state road. When we saw it we didn’t expect much. We were pleasantly surprised to find the interior of the hotel. Pleasing, the room Nicky decorated functional and the service cheerful . The breakfast was the best we’ve had at this price point. We will definitely stay at another Holiday Inn and Suites.

My room upon arrival was very dirty. The bathroom had hair on the floor. When I picked it up with a tissue, the tissue came back nearly black. The sheets and pillows smelled like body odor. The breakfast was uninspired. Lastly, the front desk told me checkout was at noon, but the housekeeper knocked on the door and said we had to vacate at 11 am because she had to pick up her child at the bus stop! However, the room was spacious, the mattress comfortable, and the entire staff was friendly, helpful, and courteous.
