Close to everything. Staff, room, elevators, pool were all disappointing. The whole property smelled like Marijuana. Staff was rude, elevator felt like ir was about to collapse ant any moment. Pool was small & very dirty. No power in our room from midnight till about 5AM. Breakfast was was definitely the best part.

The Room The tub in my room was not clean properly. It had a ring going around the inside of the tub! We had to get our own towels from the lobby. Due to not having enough staff. I guess we were supposed to clean our own rooms since housekeeping never came not one time out of the 2 nights we stayed in the two rooms we reserved. Garbage piled up in both rooms. No wi-fi in either room. Called anout it seversl times, and they did nothing to resolve the issue! Ice Machine The ice machine on my floor did not work during my stay. Elevator Not only slow, but saw a roach in the elevator. Dining Room/Breakfast Breakfast was not the best, but it is free. However after eating breakfast the first day of the 2 days we were there, we see la roach crawling in the food area on the paper plates, which is near the food area! Pool Pool is out of order! So nothing for the kids to do inside the hotel. No apologies for any of the complaints! But, you will best believe I will not stay at this Holiday Inn Express/Hammond ever again! As having my own travel agency, I will not recommend any of my clients to stay there either!

The property seemed clean and daytime staff friendly and available, however, we had ants in our room. Hot water in bathroom didn’t work properly. Only lukewarm on our first night and then cold showers the second night. Toilet wouldn’t flush properly without holding down the handle for an extended time. Night time staff was not readily available. Stood in the lobby for 10 minutes waiting on someone to show up and finally had to go behind the counter myself into an open door to ask someone to come out and help me. Hotel was advertised with a pool, but when we arrived the pool was closed. Overall, in no way was this hotel worth a nearly $500 bill for the weekend. Very disappointing. Reported to management but have not heard back. Will be contacting corporate for a partial refund.

We chose this hotel because it was close to the Hard Rock Casino were we we're going to see Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons. To our surprise and delight the band members to the show were staying here also, we got to talk to them at breakfast and get some pictures. The hotel was a clean and friendly place to stay. I would recommend it and will stay here again.

Overall it was a good stay. The only complaint was the A/C unit and the little fridge were LOUD! We requested a different room and were told it was possible but we’d have to wait but offered to send maintenance in to see if they could fix it. They were very prompt but informed us ALL the units sounded like this and there wasn’t anything that could be done. I will honestly say that I would probably stay elsewhere because of this. I’m not going to pay almost $200 a night to be kept awake by poorly maintained equipment.

The room was excellent. Very clean, bright and had an excellent view of a small lake out the window. I would have given this an excellent review except at check in they had trouble finding my reservation and the coffee dispenser was empty at 7:15am in the breakfast room and I went to the desk to report it.

Went to Rod Stewart concert at Hard Rock Casino, stayed at hotel for 2 nights. The hotel was clean, and comfortable, the staff was friendly and helpful. Our room (king sized bed) was very roomy and the bathroom had a large walk-in shower. Very nice. The breakfast was more than I expected, with scrambled eggs, omelets, sausage patties, ham slices bagels, toast and more. I would definitely stay here again.

Our room was not ready when we got upstairs. Door was open and room was dirty. Went back to desk. Was told housekeeping was off. Manager told woman at desk to go clean the room but she didn’t like that. Offered to call around to other hotels to find us another room. We had just unloaded our car in the rain and didn’t want to do that. Asked if another room was available as the hotel appeared to be only half full. Was told no other room available. When we told them we did not want to move to another hotel, miraculously they found another room for us. All of this wasted about 20-30 min of our time. Front desk never apologized for inconvenience. Acted like we were the inconvenience. Would not stay here again.

The hotel is clean, comfy and the hotel room was set up perfectly. The staff was polite and helpful. A few things regarding breakfast. They ran out of all breads and fruits. They knew the hotel was full but someone was not paying attention so many of the guests for the last hour and half of breakfast left didn’t get the breakfast they paid for. I was in the business so I know how it works. Also if the manager could have gone out or had food delivered to help the balance of the guests get the experience they planned on for their breakfast. Also the tables dying the hour and a half when I was there were not cleaned. People kept having to do this themselves. This is mandatory for anyone serving food. I worry these days about managers who do get the training just simply not wanting to put in the extra effort to take care of guests.

The room wasn't the cleanest and had holes in the couch. All of the usb outlets were broken except for one. The biggest disappointment was the breakfast. We specifically stay at holiday Inn's for the breakfast. Both nights we stayed there was virtually nothing stocked. We went at 9am one morning and then 8:30am the other morning. They were even out of coffee! They said they had no fruit and wouldn't stock up anymore gravy despite having several biscuits. Then we saw two staff members come and get some eggs and take away what very little was there to be eaten for paying customers.
