Some of the people that was staying at the hotel was rude also kept getting lost in the hotel when a staff member did see me looking confused they kept walking on by and didn't get enough information on when breakfast start or when the pool area open and close

Pros:

Clean and newly refreshed. In room 201 you could tell bathroom Reno was rushed and not top quality. Bed was squishy. Room was very clean and shower pressure was good and water hot. I only rated higher because room was so clean.

Cons:

Breakfast was horrible cold and poorly maintained. There were no tests for tongs and chafing dishes left propped open with tongs explaining why everything was cold. Ketchup is served in large open uncovered bowl with a spoon. Not hygienic and food was horrible quality. I felt sick when saw some l else sneezing and coughing over uncovered ketchup bowl. The pool is not in holiday inn Express it was in the adjacent hotel that was at least a 1/4 mile walk from room only to find out my room Keely didn't work for pool access. The room was immaculately clean but bed was feeling old and squishy. Room 201

not the greatest the room wasn't the cleanest
Pros:

it was available for a late reservation

Cons:

When I went to the hotel, they rerouted me to the Crown Plaza, which was close, so I will say my answers to your questions can not be answered truthfully. I am happy to have received a room, but I don't understand why I had to go to one hotel and then was told to go to another when I could have received that information with the reservation confirmation.

overpriced
Cons:

Breakfast: what was supposed to be hot was absolutely cold
Garbage near main entrance and from open terrace was not taken away for a couple of days
We checked in on Friday There was a lot of crumbles in the hallway. We checked out Monday-it was still there Pillowcase was too small and half of the pillow did not fit.
For this price plates could be not paper and cutlery not plastic
