We had trouble at check in. The front desk [grant] was very un professional/not very helpful. And At the pool, my 12 yo daughter was bothered by a drunk/unwell person, called her dumb and also called my sister a child rapist for no reason. And when we reported it to the hotel attendant [Grant]he basically told us that we are lying and we should deal with it ourselves. So strange. My family travels a lot but we will not stay here at Holiday inn and express in Lancaster. OH.

Second time staying at this hotel. Lovely stay. My only complaint is that there are an excessive number of parking spots for electric vehicles to charge. Both times staying these spots were mostly empty. We had to park in the back of the hotel, which wasn't the end of the world, but I think that there are far too many reserved spots for EV's that don't seem to be needed

We ended up booking that afternoon when we had a threatening incident at the cabin we were renting. I was very shaken. But the desk clerk was very, very welcoming. She even gave us several doggie goodie bags for our pups! We felt safe and away from a bad situation. Everything was clean and well maintained.

Our first trip with a dog! I couldn’t have asked for a better experience! Every hotel employee was kind , helpful , and loved Maggie! From the endless treats to the amazing dog park , we will definitely be back! Thank you for making our first trip ever with our dog an amazing experience because we were very nervous! Our room was amazing , beds clean , ample room! If we needed extra towels or toilet paper ( we stayed for 6 days ) there were no issues getting these items! Breakfast was also amazing which was a pleasant surprise! We come to Ohio at least twice a year , this will be our go to hotel! Thank you so much!
