We found out after we checked in they no longer had a pool at the facility. Our room was toasty when we checked in and took most of the night to get to 72 degrees. We were on the 3rd floor & the Dollar General had a spotlight that shined directly into our room, even with the blackout curtain pulled down. The hallway is noisy if there are loud talkers or kids running up and down.

The price was too high. Should have stayed at Hampton for same price plus was non refundable. I am not happy that I was charged $50 and it is held up to 5 days. Additionally the air conditioning made things feel damp. I will never stay at a Holiday Inn again!

We enjoy staying here when we make our annual road trip from Texas to NY to visit family! Since we have a dog, it’s usually difficult to find a nice hotel that welcomes pets. We are so happy that your hotel still welcomes us! Our rooms were beautifully updated and very clean and comfortable! Would highly recommend and will choose this location for every road trip from now on!

Not worth the price

The ladies at the front were friendly, the room however was not worth what I paid! It was not cleaned well and the bathroom was less than appealing! If there would have been other hotels available I would have requested a full refund and left. However, due to multiple graduations in the area, I was stuck staying there because everywhere else was booked! There was hair on the floor in the bathroom when we arrived, and blue stuff dripping down the bathroom wall. The top of the microwave was dusty and dirty and the bathroom wall needed a lot of work. I was extremely disappointed and will never book at the Holiday Inn Express again!
