Warn visitors that the turn is immediate off of a hwy going 55mph to try to make a turn after coming over a hill. When you miss the turn it reroutes you through a run down neighborhood for several miles.

I don’t usually right these but…You better be ready for nascar pit stop breaking. The turn for the hotel is at the top of a hill on a curve. You go from 60 to zero fast to make the turn, and pray you don’t get rear ended. Then we walked in to a stuffy hot lobby. The guy Raj, at the front desk told me we had to put down a $100 deposit ( which was not mentioned in “your this is all you pay” ) So we get to our hot room at on the bottom floor (which was fine) with a very noisy AC unit, (which didn’t cool the room down until the next morning). and the curtains are broken, and don’t close all the way. Raj was having a hard time understanding the curtains were broken, so I went back and closed them with some chip clips. I guess it served its purpose, but I thought I was staying at a Holiday Inn, not a Super 8.

Service was horrible checking in, staff was working on a computer problem and we felt like we were intruding. Hotel is run down and smells like a family was cooking in there. Tiles and wallpaper was missing on bathroom wall and the air conditioner smelt like it had a moldy filter! Would not recommend.

Nothing good. The rooms I booked were not available because the card readers for the doors were broken. The check in staff couldn't figure out how to authorize the incidental deposit on my company credit card. Once the guys were finally in their rooms, the card reader broke again leaving one guy stranded in the hall and ultimately spending two hours with a maintenance man in his room until 11pm working on the door.

The staff was very nice. This property was clean but clearly older, dark, and shabby. Considering the exorbitant price per night, we expected a much nicer property. The worst problem was finding this hotel! Hotels.com has the wrong address posted for this Holiday Inn Express! We discovered this when we drove to the posted address only to be told we were at the wrong Holiday Inn Express! Hotels.com needs to post the correct address!
