What guests think

Across recent reviews, Holiday Inn Express & Suites McKinney - Frisco East by IHG is praised for friendly, professional staff, generally clean, comfortable rooms, and a convenient location, with many guests satisfied by the complimentary breakfast options.

However, facilities are a recurring sore point, especially the pool frequently being closed, along with occasional elevator or luggage-cart shortages. Some guests cite noise from upstairs or highway-facing rooms and intermittent issues with Wi-Fi, water temperature/pressure, TVs, or in-room USB ports. Expect a comfortable, good-value stay if you confirm amenity status and request service as needed.

Convenient location in safe suburb. Pool is not operating which would be good to know before booking if you are traveling with kids. Wifi is poor, so it's also difficult to work online.

The pool was not open, had a licensing issue from the city but this was never disclosed prior to booking or before arrival. The pancake machine was also broken at breakfast. Limited options otherwise. We left hungry. We specifically choose hotels for the pool and breakfast options so we were very disappointed.

Service was very good. Breakfast had good choices and a nice seating area. The business area had two pcs and a printer, making it easy to print boarding passes before checking out. My only complaint is with the shower. There are no grab bars on the sides of the shower, just the slide handle you use to open the shower door. But since the door slides in the groove, grabbing the handle to stop a slip won't work as the door will just slide. No tub mat either making things really slippery underfoot. Cruise ships solved this problem long ago. Surprised Holiday Inn hasn't eliminated this liability risk.

Well we have several pieces of luggage but the hotel only has 2 carts which others were using and took over an hour to return. The plugs to charge our phones had issues and they did serve breakfast but they don't need to brag about it. Most of it was terrible. The gravy was watered down and had no flavor to say it was gravy. They were very slow to add fresh items and what we did get was not very good at all. Absolutely nothing to brag about for their breakfast. No one was at the desk when we tried to check out - there were several people waiting. We just put our keys in a little open box.

Reserved a larger room with a sofa bed which was not available on arrival and we were not compensated in price. We were still charged for the more expensive room. Juice machine a breakfast leaked every morning. Pool closed and the temp for the season, it is June and 90+degrees outside. Washer broken and the front desk attendant could not fix nor did she return us the money we had already fed the machine. Mold in the bathtub grout.

The cleanliness of the hotel rooms is very bad. The restrooms looked like they have not been cleaned in weeks and the room desk/nightstands were very dusty. Also, upon arrival there was a very weird smell in the lobby and for some reason there were a lot of flies there too. I have stayed at other Holiday Inn Express's, and they have not been like this one. This is by far the worst I have seen. I would definitely do not recommend staying at this specific location.

We could hear the people upstairs walking. They had kids and they were jumping from the bed I guess. But they did this almost all night. I had to complain three times about it, and it sounded like they stopped for a little bit, then continued. Next time I will ask for a room on the very top floor.

Our room was clean and comfortable. Our only problem was barely hot water in the shower and low water pressure. I let the manager know when I checked out. He said other guests had mentioned it and they would take care of it. Other than that, it was a nice hotel and had very friendly staff.

Sounds silly but we wouldn’t stay again because the shower water was so cold we weren’t able to wash our hair during the stay. All of the sinks were similar luke warm temps throughout the hotel. Assuming it is turned down for safety purposes but it was miserable. Otherwise the location and facility was great!

I am writing to express my disappointment with my recent experience at the hotel. I had booked two rooms for my relatives for two nights, and unfortunately, due to a flight delay, they arrived later than expected. Despite informing the front desk staff about the delay and the situation, I was shocked to find that they were marked as "no-show" and were not accommodated upon arrival. What has left me even more frustrated is the lack of empathy and professionalism displayed by the front office staff. I called ahead to ensure they were aware of the situation, and yet they did not make any effort to assist or offer a solution. The staff member I spoke with seemed to show little understanding of the circumstances and offered no resolution except making me book and pay again, which was extremely disappointing. Given the situation, I expected better communication, flexibility, and customer service, particularly when the issue was not the fault of the guests.

The only negative about our stay was the breakfast. It was a fail all the way, from chunky milk poured over cereal to rock hard cinnamon rolls to inedible styrofoam tasting eggs. Even the orange my husband got was inedible. The hotel staff was very kind and helpful at check in and rooms clean and comfortable.
