Hotel itself was nice our room needed to be cleaned Bathroom needed attention. Walking distance to restaurants nearby. I would have given it a better rating if it wasn’t for the room. We said something to them they moved us to another room.

Picked the wrong hotel :(

Great location, nearby to a lot of places, stores and restaurants.. BUT!! unfortunately my family and I did not enjoy our stay. We were next to and under very inconsiderate people who partied all night, and I’m talking about from midnight to 7am. We called the front desk twice from our phones to report the noise because the room phone was not even working nor connected. Nothing was done. Needless to say, we only stayed up there because we couldn’t even sleep at all. Our neighbors were so loud, stomping and bumping the walls all night right into the morning. Pretty sure it was group of people who came together. Too bad the hotel staff didn’t help to stop them. We will not be staying here again. Thanks.

I am a very forgivable person and one that acknowledges that there can be issues but how those issues are resolved is what's important. So this hotel is clean and fresh concerning the lobby, breakfast and pool as well as the grounds. However, the rooms are clean but questionable. Our first room had a used and unclean toilet but the rest of the room looked clean. We shifted rooms to find a clean toilet but toe nails (multiple) and trash on the floor. After a look around the room was clean but the floor wasn't vacuumed or swept. So, the room was not consistent. However the beds were clean and good to go. So myself and 2 kids went to bed only to find out the heater would not turn off. So it was hot but better than nothing. So overall, I would stay again but in terms of IHG they were not up to par for this Holiday Inn Express. They are usually on point. I will say the staff was kind and sweet. I feel that they are very capable of being amazing. They just need to dial in on housekeeping.
