Cleanliness
6
Mixed comments: several reviewers said rooms were clean and quiet, but others reported rooms that 'stunk' or seemed dirty and a ceiling that looked like it might fall — overall below average cleanliness.
Service
9.5
Very positive: numerous mentions of very friendly, cooperative and even 'phenomenal' staff and consistent service across stays.
Location
9.5
Consistently praised: many reviewers noted the hotel is close to the highway/event locations and generally convenient for travel.
Room Quality
5
Several negative notes: uncomfortable beds (described as like 'sleeping on a rock'), a poorly conditioned sofa-bed in some rooms, thin walls/noise, rattling windows and other maintenance issues.
Amenities
6
Mixed: fresh-baked cookies and pool access were positives, but the hot tub was either under repair or overly chlorinated/nasty for some guests.
Value for Money
8
Generally good value for price for many guests ('Good for the price'), though some noted the hotel’s limited sofa-bed availability which can impact family bookings.
Food and Beverage
6
Inconsistent breakfast experience: some days the breakfast was great, other times items were missing or overly seasoned (black pepper), so F&B is uneven.
Overall Experience
10
Despite specific issues (beds, some cleanliness/amenity concerns), many guests emphasize strong service, location and repeat stays — overall experience rated very highly by multiple reviewers.

Good for the price
Pros:

Location and staff cooperation

Cons:

I used sofa cum bed and that was in a very bad condition, and there are only few rooms with sofa cum bed in whole hotel. This is a trick to force families to book two rooms or go somewhere else. Not good restaurants around here in the area

We have always had consistent service at Holiday Inn Express, thank you for great service.
Pros:

The breakfast was great on this day. We stayed at the same hotel going down to vacation and the breakfast was poor. No cinnamon rolls, one piece of white bread, no biscuits, eggs, and sausage gravy (this was at 9am-30 minutes before breakfast ended. We went at 8-30 on this day so the breakfast was fully loaded.

Cons:

The hot tub was being worked on so was happy they let us swim in pool, but was afraid the kids were going to upset the repair on the hot tub.

It was in a great location.
