The staff was absolutely fantastic but the hotel itself needs some work. The woman at the front desk got me sorted in no time despite Hotels.com failing to send the reservation to them. The elevator is quite rickety and the door doesn't close sometimes, requiring manual intervention that regulars seem to be aware of suggesting it's been like that for a while. When we got up to our room, our key card didn't work but come to find out the card reader just needed a new battery. Not only did the employee in the hall immediately notice we were having issues and offered to help, but he also then immediately informed the hotel of the dying battery and had someone up to replace it in little time. The room was fine although the A/C was a bit loud.

The first room given to us was overwhelming in its smell of cleaning products trying to hide the musty smell of mildew. Immediately requested a new room, which they provided and was no great change, but at least tolerable for the few hours of sleep needed. Would not have stayed if we had to spend any time in the hotel itself.

When we checked in and brought our belongings to our room I sat down at the desk and looked down and saw a bug at first I thought it was a cricket so I got a tissue to pick it up and when I showed my fiancé he said it was a cockroach, so we took it to the front desk and they proceeded to apologize and gave us another room, we moved our belongings from one room to the next that room had a smell of musty and pet urine mix, we were willing to give it a try since we had driven 6 hours to get there and hd plans to visit Busch Gardens, needless to say we spent the one night which I was unable to sleep because I was afraid bugs would be crawling on me. We checked out Saturday afternoon because we found 2 more cockroaches.

Never again!!

Room stunk, coffee maker did not work, guests were slamming doors all night and yelling at their kids and they kept their dog locked in the room howling all day and in to the night. Horrible and we'll never stay here ever again.

Liked: Amenities
Staff, breakfast, and cleanliness were great. We had a room on the first floor and the ceiling must be lacking insulation or some type of sound barrier because we could hear whenever someone was walking in the room or the hallway above us. We were not able to sleep. We did appreciate the friendliness of the staff.

Disappointed Stay – Not Up to Holiday Inn Express Standards We’ve stayed at several Holiday Inn Express locations during our trip, and this one in Gloucester, VA, was by far the most disappointing. The property is clearly older and in need of updating. Our room smelled strongly of pine cleaner—almost like sawdust—and the carpet was grimy underfoot. The bathroom was unusually small, even for a budget hotel. Breakfast was where things really fell apart. The staff member in charge was sitting in the dining area, wearing her kitchen hat, eating her own meal and chatting loudly with a friend, while several food stations were neglected. The juice machine had a layer of congealed juices under the cup holder. the coffee was lukewarm, and the pancake machine produced something closer to cardboard than food. Most items were unappealing or inedible. This experience left us questioning the consistency of the Holiday Inn Express brand. We’ll be checking out the Hampton Inn next door and likely staying there next time we’re in the area.

Nice, clean, comfortable

Hotel was close to where we needed to be, so we picked it. I was delighted by how clean and well maintained the facility was, and the great check-in. The room was clean and comfortable but seemed to be missing artwork (hooks on wall but no art) and maybe furniture (empty corner where I would expect to see a chair), and we had some problems working the AC from the thermostat. None of that really interfered with our enjoyment of our stay. Expect to be in the area again and would stay again with no hesitation.
