Not Our Best Stay

Front desk clerk was very nice on check in as well as when we requested a change. The carpet in our room was filthy. We asked for a different room the remainder of the stay and was given a smaller room with carpet just as filthy. Carpets were so bad that we did not go without our shoes at anytime during our stay. Sleeper sofa so filthy we put a blanket down before sitting on it. We had to wash chair and side tables so we could use them. Pillows terrible. TV options very limited. People in parking lot smoking (not cigarettes) with kids in their car. More than once in the evenings we went to front desk(for towels or snacks) and clerk was outside. Early part of week stay was manageable, end of week felt very unsafe. We have stayed at other Holiday Inn Express properties and have been very pleased. Not the case this time.

Trip to Bloomington

Room was clean and well-stocked. There was an issue with the hot tub but the pool was open, which was kind of a bummer. The jetted tub in my rub had a faulty knob which made the water constantly run cold water. Other than that, it was fine. The staff was courteous and very helpful!
