Categories

Cleanliness
7
Mixed feedback: several guests praised that rooms smelled clean and were tidy, but multiple reports of hair, carpet stains, missed vacuuming and a hazardous missed pill lowered confidence.
Service
8
Generally positive — many comments about friendly, helpful staff and a standout breakfast attendant — but marred by reports of slow service, a rude GM and lack of responsibility in one incident.
Location
9.5
Consistently cited as a strong point: easy to get to, close to amenities and described as a good choice for quick overnight stays.
Room Quality
7.5
Mixed: several guests loved the comfortable beds and spacious rooms, but others noted overly soft mattresses causing back aches, a very loud air conditioner, TV issues and an unusually low toilet height.
Amenities
7.5
Breakfast, lobby coffee and bottled water/snacks were repeatedly praised, but amenities suffered from a tiny/filthy pool, slow elevator and limited in-room fridge/freezer options.
Value for Money
6.5
Several guests felt the stay didn't match the price paid, citing extra charges (e.g., $5 snack), amenities in poor condition and service shortcomings.
Food and Beverage
9.5
A clear strength: multiple mentions of generous, tasty continental breakfast and appreciative comments about the attentive breakfast attendant.
Overall Experience
8.5
Overall positive for most guests — many repeat visitors and comments like 'we'll be back' — but notable negative outliers related to cleanliness and amenities impacted some stays.

We will not stay here again.
Pros:

Location was good. Staff was very nice. Breakfast was typical for Holiday Inn Express. They had snacks and water available at the front area which was nice.

Cons:

Room was dirty - hair on the floor and in the bathroom. Stains on the carpet. Air conditioner was extremely loud so none of us got much sleep the first night. Beds were too soft. The outdoor pool was tiny and not appealing.

Front hostess was great, however GM was rude and would not take any responsibility for unfortunate situation.
Pros:

Easy to get to and close to amenities.

Cons:

Housekeeping didn’t vacuum well or not at all and missed a pill on the floor. My dog found it and ended up at the emergency vet and an immediate trip back home. Hotel took no responsibility.
Picture is part of the pill I got out of my dogs mouth and put in toilet.

We'll be back!
Pros:

The breakfast was generous and tasty. I worried about the attendant, who was doing a fabulous job keeping all the serving platters full and all questions answered. But she was all alone.

Cons:

Actually we both had issues with the mattress, which seemed like it would be perfect. But we both woke up with minor back aches. Who knows?
