Bed was comfortable and hot water
Room smelled bad no alarm clock no phone charger no plugs to charge your phone are any thing you need to plug walls where nasty curtains where nasty the bed frame was nasty and was off by 4 inches on one side
Bed was comfortable
Staff did not know ice machines were not operational or not on floor. Had to check every floor. Remote did not work TV. The entire place, walls floors, everything dirty and dingy looking
The breakfast was good. Was in a hurry to leave the hotel due to condition of it.
The front desk staff indicated the room booked for us was taken. Another room was assigned and check for cleanliness but the toilet did not flush. We were moved to another room that was not spic and span clean. Seemed like it had not been used in awhile and not refreshed. The faucets were not cleaned.
Room was very clean and bed was comfortable
Only had warm in the shower the first night. After that it was ice cold and it didn’t matter what you tried or what time of day you tried it
Staff, food, breakfast staff was excellent
Hotel was very outdated. For the price we were very disappointed.
Parking was easy. Check in was easy. My issue was that the room was dirty. There were empty drink bottles under the bed, food, candy wrappers. The carpet felt gross. It looked like someone had been on one of the beds. Sheets had some stains. I checked out early. The hotel would not refund me stating that because I "booked with expedia" they couldn't do anything. They did offer another room but my friends room was just as bad so I the gave up the cost of a night. Poor excuse on the hotels part. I'm not sure if that was true but I will think twice about booking through a travel site in the future.
Common areas were clean as was the room. They are renovating the property which is needed. Dated for sure. Front desk staff was friendly but confused at times. Housekeeping staff was very good. Breakfast was decent. Parking seemed safe well lit but curbs in front of spaces were too far out from the property and were easy to hit as was evidenced by how many were crushed and broken. Room was quiet, linens were clean. Good location. Want to visit after renovations are complete.
By far, this was the dirtiest hotel we have ever been in. There was dirt and filth everywhere ... mold in the cracks in the bathrooms. Bathroom sinks and showers did not drain. Absolutely disgusting. I would maybe expect this from a $59 per night hotel room - but not from a Holiday Inn Express at $185 per night. Left and got a different hotel room on nights 2 & 3 ... very frustrating that the hotel or Expedia would not give us a refund. The pictures on Expedia were very misleading - false advertisement at it's finest.
IHG properties seem to be consistently well managed.
The airconditio0
We stayed in a suite. We liked that the sitting area was another room especially since we had teenage grandchildren with us and we get up way before them. The breakfast was ok.
Was greeted by a very friendly staff.
Desk staff was nice, but the the hotel is very old and should be torn down. For example, black mold in bathroom, bath vent fan spins but doesn't move air, likely plugged up, bath sink very slow to drain, likely plugged up, bath vanity has 1 inch gaps at each end where my toothbrush rolled off and feel onto the dirty floor, the bath shower/tub has lost all its anti-slip nature and is like showering on a sheet of ice, toilet seat is so loose you need a seat belt to feel safe. Windows are paper thin allowing lots of street noise thru. Pool was dirty and not cleaned in days. Health dept should condemn the hotel and tear it down.
