Categories

Cleanliness
9.1
Multiple reviews specifically note the facilities, rooms and bathrooms were clean (e.g., 'clean', 'very clean bathroom'), so cleanliness is a clear strength.
Service
6.5
Mixed service: several serious check-in failures and needing to ring bell lowered the score, though some guests praised early check-in and a helpful desk call for a delivery.
Location
9
Mentioned positively ('Great location') and generally implied as convenient; treated as a strong point in reviews.
Room Quality
7.2
Rooms are often described as spacious and comfortable with large showers, but issues with loud AC, lack of soundproofing, and misleading room features (no in-room hot tub) reduce the score.
Amenities
7
Breakfast amenities are praised, and the hotel is pet-friendly, but concerns like slippery pool steps, missing in-room advertised features, and no obvious water bottle filling station lower this rating.
Value for Money
7.9
Standard quality for this hotel tier
Food and Beverage
8.7
Continental breakfasts are repeatedly described as excellent and varied (strong positive), though there are isolated complaints about dry potatoes/sausage.
Overall Experience
7.8
Overall mixed: several very positive stays (clean, comfortable, good breakfast, helpful staff moments) but notable negative experiences (long check-in waits, misleading room descriptions) result in a slightly above-average overall impression.

My wife and I had a very positive experience at Holiday Inn Express/Vernal.
Pros:

The continental breakfasts were excellent. The variety of foods available (at no additional charge) was greater than we've experienced at any other hotel. And all other aspects of our stay there were highly satisfactory.

Misleading descriptions
Pros:

Comfortable bed

Cons:

The description of the room was not accurate. There is no hot tub in the room and it was definitely not soundproof.

Wonderful stay
Pros:

We were able to check in a little early which was a great surprise. The room was spacious, clean and comfortable. The bathroom was very clean and there was plenty of shampoo and conditioner for us to use. We got a doordash order and the front desk called to let us know it had arrived. We were able to have breakfast in the morning before we leave and it had lots of options and as a traveler with children it was a wonderful surprise to find something they can eat.

Cons:

I couldn't find a station to fill outer waterbottles but maybe I just couldn't find it or there wasn't one on the third floor.

Great hotel, but stay in the rooms on the side away from the main street
Pros:

Very clean, excellent coffee, better than most coffee at any hotel, beds were very comfortable and room well supplied.

Cons:

We had a room facing the main street in front of the hotel and the traffic noise was loud enough that we needed earplugs. I would stay in the rooms on the backside of the hotel in the future.

Pros:

The entire town and property are fresh and contemporary. Loved the large bathroom counter and luxurious walk-in shower. This is the only hotel I remember where room temp was where I wanted it, as I arrived!
