The hot tub was cemented in so no hot tub. The pool was freezing. In the morning our keys stopped working and 10:30 with check out at 11 and they made it a big deal to reenter our room. Over all better places to stay then there.

We were given an adjoining room and the amount of noise the came through the adjoining door was unbearable. On the third night staff offered to move us but had seen the occupants of the other room checked out. So we said as long as no one is booked there for the next two nights all is good. Unfortunately this did not happen for our last night.

I was shocked at the size of the room! It had so much space for clothes to unpack, tables and chairs to relax . I noticed how clean the hotel was at check in and the room was super clean too! I could tell everything has been remodeled, i actually thought it was a brand new hotel at first. The staff was so friendly and offered to help with anything we might need. The breakfast was so good, we went down all 3 mornings. (The bacon was amazing) The location was perfect, so close to restaurants and stores. Parking was perfect, it was so quick and easy to come and go. We didnt use the pool but it looked nice and clean. Overall, i would 100% recommend this Holiday Inn Express and will stay again next time i am in the area.

We arrived early. I went in to ask if they had a place to store my luggage until check-in. Before I could get the words out of my mouth I was cut off and told I arrived too early. Wasn’t asking to check in, just to store my suitcase for a bit. When I finally asked the question, I was cut off again and told there wasn’t room behind the counter and the front desk people didn’t have room for that. Then told I could put them in a conference room. I asked if it was secure and told no. I then asked if the 2 of the 3 rooms I reserved could be near each other so I could be near my blind mother to help her. Again, before I could complete my sentence, I was told the manager had already assigned the rooms and she couldn’t help me. So I gave up with Tina and loaded my bags on a cart. I had to get to a wedding rehearsal. The hotel engineer graciously took our bags and locked them in a conference room. When we arrived back to the hotel later that evening and were able to check I , the 3 rooms were all VERY separate. (Floors). We got our bags and went to our rooms. I went to get my mom settled first and the roo She was assigned was not clean or the bed made up. Somehow the front desk person (not Tina) was able to assign another to us. Now I had 2 rooms in the same hallway so we could be near my mom. The room I got had black stuff from in the toilet but we
