We have gone to this property even before it was Holiday Inn Express. It used to be the nicest property on Mid America Drive prky. So for about 26-28 YEARS each September we stayed there. Last 3 years, this property has not been kept up. Start with the outside. Grass brown, shrubs needed trimming, years prior the lawn even at this time of year looked like green carpet. We opened the umbrella on the patio, were swarming with yellow jackets. Our room.: very dated, chip in the porcelain tub, the toilet seat was a very cheap plastic that would slide off rim of the stool. The door had dirty hand prints inside and out. The light sconces wwe begining to rrust. The glass tops on furniture was smudged, and the remote control for the TV was sticky, dusty and looked like food by the buttons. I had to clean it off before we used it. No Ice on this floor. It was like they just stuck us there. Normally we made reservations 1 yr in advance. We WON'T ever stay here again.
