Value for Money
8.7
Mixed perceptions: some guests cited price as a pro, others felt the room condition and issues made the stay not worth the cost.

Pros:

Staff very friendly.

Cons:

Close to highway so could hear trucks all night long. The hotel could use a little renovating.

Pros:

Nice brand hotel. Meets all expectations about quality and cleanliness. The location is outside of the town near some track parking. So you can probably see track drivers in the hotel.

Pros:

Location

Cons:

Room smelled like mold, carpet was dirty, you could tell it was partially renovated, bathroom floor also needed redone. Overall the price was not worth the stay. I will definitely reconsider before I stay in a Holiday Inn Express again.

This was a very bad experience and a horrible Holiday Inn. I like Holiday Inn normally, but thinner
Pros:

Breakfast was horrible. I have stayed at many Holiday Inns. This was easily the worst one. No one in my family liked any of the food. We couldn't eat more than a couple of bites.

Cons:

Breakfast was horrible.
The elevator sounded like they were going to break. They were also very sticky and was never cleaned.
Our floor had a soaking wet carpet, and it was clear where it came from, but was in the majority of the hall.
We was told kids could use the Pool before we reserved the rooms. However when we got there, they had the pool closed and said it would be open later. We checked each hour except while we was asleep until time for us to leave, but it stayed closed. Front desk changed it and said they don't know when it will be open again because their staff showed up late.
Also, the blinds on the windows wouldn't close. So people outside could see into our room at all times.
