Categories

Cleanliness
8.4
Generally described as clean rooms and comfortable; however there are repeat operational cleanliness issues (missed room cleans/towels, towels left on floor, torn blind, occasional hallway mildew smell) so slight deduction from perfect.
Service
9
Staff repeatedly described as friendly and helpful (front desk compliments, helpful manager, breakfast staff assistance). Some understaffing noted causing delayed room cleaning, but overall service sentiment is strongly positive.
Location
9.2
Consistently praised for being convenient and close to stores, attractions and local distilleries; parking and lighting noted positively.
Room Quality
8
Rooms described as comfortable and roomy with good TV selection, but occasional maintenance issues (non-functioning toilet, torn blind, misplaced towels, some units with poor AC) lower this slightly.
Amenities
7.6
Mixed amenities: coffee machines praised, pool described as nice by some but also reported with mildew/odor and occasional maintenance; pancake machine/outlet at breakfast was out of order, reducing amenity reliability.
Value for Money
7.4
Several guests found the price reasonable/affordable while at least one guest felt the rate was too high; there was also a serious billing complaint (charged 3 times) that negatively impacted perceived value.
Food and Beverage
7
Coffee repeatedly praised, but hot breakfast offerings were frequently understocked or slow to be replenished (pancake machine broken, sparse items across multiple days), leading to notably lower F&B sentiment.
Overall Experience
9
Majority of stays described as very enjoyable: friendly staff, comfortable rooms and convenient location dominate reviews. Operational issues (breakfast quality, occasional cleanliness/maintenance, billing) occur but do not outweigh broadly positive experiences.

We enjoyed the coffee, it was very tasty.
Pros:

It was a convenient location. Front desk staff always friendly.

Cons:

The toilet in our room was not functioning properly. Also they must of been under staff because it took them a couple of days to clean our room. For breakfast, the pancake machine was out of order during our stay.

Perfectly comfortable and friendliest staff.
Pros:

The front desk staff was super friendly, especially the lady who checked us in that evening. There was a "manager from out of town", she was super friendly and helpful. Also the lady who was serving breakfast saw that i was bleeding and she went and got me a bandaid. I live in the south, but the southern hospitality was so refreshing.

Cons:

The hallway on the second floor stunk so bad. I do not know what the smell was, it wasn't like a cigarette smell or marijuana (which is something you would normally smell in a hotel hallway unfortunately.) It was maybe a mildew smell. Idk they need to put some sort of plug in or something to get the stink out.

Good Hotel
Pros:

Staff was friendly, breakfast was good, pool was nice

Cons:

We requested a low-level room with our reservation, but they put us on the top floor. Several staff members took smoke breaks at the hotel entrance.

We met out of state family to tour a couple of distilleries, see the local parks and town.
Pros:

The room was comfortable and roomy. Breakfast was ok, filling. Coffee machines made great coffee. Check in/out was easy, great TV channel selection. good parking / lighting

Cons:

We stayed 3 nights, our room was cleaned with fresh towels the first day, but not the second, we had to go to the front desk to get fresh towels mid-afternoon, then someone came in the late evening and kind of made the bed and emptied the trash containers while we were out to dinner. We wanted to use the pool on the first night, the smell prevented us, (mildew???) it wasn't very pleasant.

Pros:

The room was comfortable. The free breakfast was something of a joke..We went down at 8am and there was very little put out. Cold cereal, bananas, no drinks other than coffee. After 4 days of staying in other Holiday Inn Express we knew what it was suppose to be for food. There was an elderly lady working the dining room but she just couldn't keep the food stations all filled, too slow for that kind of work. We went out and ate our breakfast on the road. This wasn't just 1 day either, it was the same during our 3 day stay. Very disappointing 😞

Pros:

The motel was nice and friendly staff.

Cons:

The hallway was HOT! The air conditioner didn't work well or at all. The pool was getting maintenance however, it surprisingly was available to a group of kids. Not at all happy with our stay.
