This hotel does not accommodate all guests. Animals on all floors, not enough parking, food quality.
Pros:

The front desk staff and other staff members were very helpful and polite.

Cons:

I did not like that there were dogs in this hotel without being notified and that I was told at the front desk that they only have families with pets stay on the second floor. However, we were on the 4th floor, and next door was a family of 4 rolling in their e-bikes and a large dog. It may not be bothersome to many, however being 800 miles from home and finding out that there will be dogs in the hotel rooms is disgusting. I love animals, but I am a chronic asthmatic and only have 46% lung capacity and also with beginning stages of emphysema and COPD. Animals could have been on the furniture, including the bed in our room and luckily, I didn't need my breathing machine during my stay.

The food was disgusting....all of your eggs had bellpeppers in it. No matter what time we came to eat, the trays were empty or like 1 or 2 pieces of bacon or sausage.

The pool was a joke. Both the spa and pool were extremely cloudy, wo we know that the water was not treated properly for safety so didn't even use that either.

Then, asked if we could have our points with your hotel, they said no, except for the first night because it had been booked with: Booking.com

Parking was an issue as well. I need to be close to the door, however when we would leave in the evenings to eat, all of the parking was full. We were told that you have 90 rooms and only 70 parking spots. We would have too park in the back which was quite a walk for a person with only 46% lung capacity and being in a high altitude.

Very accommodating and mindy
Pros:

Very friendly and accommodating staff as I needed a late checkout because I had to meet with some people in town.

Rooms were clean and very well organized. I only had one pillow that was unclean, which I just didn’t use. It was on the other bed.

One major issue !
Pros:

Very clean. Room grounds entire facility. Staff was friendly and helpful. Made us feel like valued members and customers. Parking was ample and safe. Location is excellent if you like terrific prime rib next door. Only complaint. The room air conditioner ran all night but could not get room cooler than 71 (65 set) even though it was 50 outside! Bed was firm. Pillows a little too soft but heat in room kept us awake. Will stay there again without a doubt and hope for better news next time.

Impressive
Pros:

This was our first time at a Holiday Inn Express and we were impressed. I would have rated this location higher if the fire alarm and mysterious sounds didn't happen.

Our King room was very large and spacious with a sofa and comfortable side chair with ottoman. There a space to place 2 large suitcases - a very rare but highly appreciated amenity.
Lighting could have been better with only 3 light fixtures. The bathroom was nice with decent counter space and storage.
There was a legitimate adjustable office chair at a decent size desk. We appreciated the soft-close toilet seat and the fan and hook in the bathroom. Also the towel bar under the sink and the small shelf behind the sink.
We did not appreciate the early morning fire alarm and subsequent mysterious high-pitch sound emanating from and unknown source.
No in room coffee, so toddled down to the very sophisticated machine in the breakfast area.

Housekeeping needs help
Pros:

The only inconvenience we experienced was no garbage collection or fresh towels between days. I personally spoke with housekeeping and said we'd be out in 30 minutes for service. We returned six hours later and nothing was touched.

No breakfast of champions here.
Pros:

Hotel was clean and the registration desk staff were great. The woman working the breakfast was not friendly and did not pay attention to the breakfast foods. According to people staying there the hotel sells out almost nightly in the summer and the breakfast should be kept up to unfortunately we arrived around 840 and breakfast was until 920 and the biscuits, omelets, sausages and pancakes were all already gone. When I went into the back room looking for someone she was surprised about the empty trays and said it would be 20 minutes before anything would be ready. I told her about the pancake machine and she said she could not refill it. It had yeast and had to sit overnight. Now if the hotel is selling out then why wasn’t she already prepared? It’s not like she would have to throw it away. The leftover portion of the pancake batter could be stored in the fridge overnight. Many more people came after me and were also not pleased. Sausages never made it out. 😝☹️

Great Stay: Comfortable Beds and Very Modern and Clean Throughout
Pros:

The staff are really kind and friendly people. The hotel in general and the rooms were spotlessly clean. The beds were comfortable and pillows fantastic. It’s a nice touch that the pillows have stitched labels on the pillowcases indicating whether they are firm or soft. The simple breakfast offered is perfect for getting started in the morning.
