With a few easy upgrades, this hotel could be so much better
Pros:

Location was perfect, right off the highway with lots of walkable eating places and big box stores. Longhorn was on one side and Texas Roadhouse on the other. Personnel was very friendly and parking was easy. Breakfast was good and included sausage and eggs.

Cons:

AC worked well but the sheets were microfiber and therefore so hot that my husband and I woke several times all night. The bathroom could use some updating but shower head was strong.

This was the worst experience I have ever had in a hotel . This should not be a Holiday inn Brand
Pros:

I don’t know I missed it because of all the noise .

Cons:

I had my familywith me . I had two rooms .One room smell like smoke . The room that replaced it had a water leak at the front door and it was very noisy. The second room was a double bed, one of the beds was not made like someone had just got out of it . The front desk person gave us another room and one of those beds had a big dip in the mattress. People should be honest in these reviews.

Do not trust the reviews. This place is a dump.
Pros:

The property location was quite literally the only thing okay about this stay.

Cons:

I chose this location because it had such high ranking reviews. I would like to know who is leaving the reviews for this property because the experience we had was nowhere near a high 8-9 ranking. When we got to our room, the smell of mildew and musty wet dog hit me in the face. The smell of room almost made me gag. The AC was hanging on to every inch of life it had left in it. It wasn’t producing nearly enough cool air to be comfortable. The room was so humid and DAMP. Our suitcases, clothes, electronics, shoes, skin, basically everything in the room was WET by morning. The doors to the room and bathroom scraped the floors. You couldn’t open or shut either door without forcefully pushing it open with your entire body. Once it was stuck open, it wasn’t moving until you aggressively pulled on them. The beds were actually pretty awful. Extremely worn down and I cringe thinking about how dirty they were. The carpet in the room was disgusting. It probably contributed to the smell of the entire room but worth mentioning….just wet, damp, smelly carpet. The “free breakfast” was a joke. I travel often and have come to realize that you shouldn’t expect too much at some establishments when it comes to the free breakfasts, however; this place was disgusting. I didn’t try the food because it looked so unappealing. I did note that while some guests were standing in line trying to get some morning coffee, a staff member from the front desk decided she too needed coffee at that moment and guests had to wait in line for her to get her coffee. I was actually surprised to see her not care or notice that guests were waiting for her to make her coffee with empty cups in their hands. I do not think what we paid for the room was remotely close to a fair price. I was severely misguided when using the reviews as a tool to decide where we should stay while passing through. We won’t be back to this location. The pictures posted online (as most hotels use) do not reflect reality at all.

A place to sleep, but it seems the quality of holiday inn express just isn't what it used to be.
Pros:

Breakfast was good
Location was good.pl

Cons:

Place just needs to be cleaner. Found food crumbs on the floor in the room. Hallways and elevator areas needed to be cleaned better.

Absolutely disgusting rip off!
Pros:

Nothing!!!

Cons:

We paid for a king suite, $213! More than I paid for a beautiful king suite in Nashville on broadway! The room had a very strong smell of chemicals, tub was dirty, toilet was clogged, refrigerator didn’t work, no cable or even local channels, 1 antique elevator that never seemed to come down, we had to take the steps with our bags! The rear of the building had lots of trash and partying by I believe staff members, the cleaning staff walked in on us twice even though we had the sign on the door! We couldn’t get out of there fast enough. Total disgrace and not even worth $80 a night let alone $213!! Absolutely disgusting! I’ll never return!
