Convenient and quite So kind all the staff Good warm welcomed
Excellent! Friendly, efficient staff. Breakfast was great. The only thing I feel could be improved is the temperature of the water in the pool.
Worked out great for us. Hard to find a room that will sleep 6 people and this one did it comfortably. The lobby/breakfast area was very nice.
Enjoy all of the HIE hotels. Modern rooms, always clean, but slow internet is theonly downfall without extra cost.
Room was not clean. Carpet was not vacuum. Bathroom counter dirty. Staff was very rude toward the simple questions I asked.
A bunch of us stayed there to get ready for my son's wedding. We had a great time. The hotel was clean and the staff was friendly and helpful.
This hotel met our needs. It is not in the greatest or most scenic area. We drove daily to our activities from here and the amenities were fine. Also, daily breakfast was very good.
I stayed here with a friend after traveling from Texas. It had everything we needed. Hot breakfasts in a lovely dining room. Work-out area with a pool and hot tub. Desk area with USB ports and a couch/coffee table in our room. Microwave and a refrigerator as well as central control for the heat/ac versus one of those noisy units under the window. (Hate those!) The staff was welcoming and helpful. They also had fresh fruit snacks in the lobby. Nice central location to many attractions and close to McChord AFB.
Have nothing negative to say. Our stay over all was great!
We needed a place to stay for a long weekend in Lakewood and The Holiday Inn Express & Suites met our needs perfectly. The breakfast was excellent, staff incredibly friendly, and we got a great deal. Per hotel standards, the mattresses were average, but not overly comfortable (but is any bed away from home that great?). The room was pretty clean though we found a little bit of trash under the nightstand, nothing major! Overall, great stay!
Everything is find to me in this Hotel.and location just off Hwy 5, very convinince.
The swimming pool and the hot tub looked to be in bad shape. It appears that both needed to be drained and painted. Because of the dullness of the paint both made the water look rather dirty with algae.
It was very clean & staff was great. The only negative was that I checked in with a large group of 100+ and there was only one person to check us all in. It took over two hours. The young man working the front desk that night was fantastic though!
I have no complaints about the hotel. Friendly staff and great breakfast selection.
This was a comfortable hotel. The room was clean with a small fridge. It was conveniently located next to the freeway but that also made it a bit noisy. The breakfast was adequate with a pretty good selection, a little more than "continental" but certainly not like going out to eat.
We had a wonderful time on our trip to Lakewood. The location was easy to access the freeway and close to shopping and food. We're runners and there was plenty of light traveled roads to run on in the surrounding area. We'd come back if we needed to stay in the area again! Sean & Melissa
Convenient location to the highway, shopping and restaurants. I would recommend this hotel and would stay there again. The hotel is a good value for the price. The grounds needs some care, but the building is relative new.
Overall experience was good, pleasant staff and clean rooms. Where it lacked was when we wanted to go out to a nice dinner one evening and since we are totally unfamiliar with surrounding, the front desk was not too helpful. I just got handed a paper with restaurants on it but i was hoping staff would be more knowledgeable and guide us a bit.
This place was certainly worth it. The exterior was clean and professional looking, and the lobby was as well. My room was clean and I didn't have any issues with the amenities. The bathroom included a hairdryer and the television was a fairly decent sized flat screen. Breakfast was served until 10am each morning, and presented several options, pancakes, cereal, fruit, eggs, biscuits and gravy, sausage, and bacon.
Pleasant, clean room; free internet and breakfast. But there was a loud group of people in the swimming pool in the middle of the night having a party and making noise, so I will not return. Only one staff person at the desk; we had to wait to check in and to check out.
