It was a busy weekend with graduations....We had reserved a room with two beds (a year ago), but got one king? size bed instead. It couldn't be changed, but my daughter and i were very comfortable and satisfied with the room. Breakfast was late is getting set up, one thing came out at a time. coffee machine wasnt working at first. But I was told there was a new person working, so we gave her some slack and never complained. Overall I rated 5 stars and was very happy with accomodations.

This is by far one of the nicest IHG hotels that I have stayed in. Everything was exceptionally clean and well kept! The breakfast buffet was well stocked by the young lady on duty! We were greeted by friendly and helpful employees. We will definitely stay here when in the area again.

The young man at the desk was incapable of communicating with the public. He was at the desk at 5 pm on Sunday 3/30. He sent the shuttle to the airport to pick me up after I dropped off my rental car. I confirmed this with him in person and by phone. I asked if I should stand under the shuttle sign at BTV and he said yes "the shuttle area". After 45 minutes waiting in the freezing cold I called him back. A woman answered and said that an Uber went to pick me up and I was not in the Uber area. I called the desk again as they said another was sent. No show this time. I ordered an Uber on my own. On returning to the hotel the young man would not admit his error nor offer any apology... He just kept claiming that he sent an uber. There was no Uber nor shuttle ever sent. I paid for my own Uber

It was very acceptable. The air system was too loud, so we shut it off. The sign for the property was not on, so I missed it twice when driving. There is another Holiday Inn Express with the same name and Spple maps kept directing us to it.
