Average stay

My stay was alright. There was a Tennessee game so the room prices were quite high. The room had a strange smell but was otherwise clean. The common areas were updated and clean, but overall the property is average. The surrounding area has plenty of fast food and other amenities which was appreciated. I ended up paying around $350 for 1 night here. This is nowhere near a $350 per night hotel, so I was a bit disappointed with the accommodations. I’d only recommend if there aren’t many other options.

Pet Friendly and comfortable

I was very impressed with the level of accommodations for me and my dog. This was the first time I’ve ever traveled with my pet, and Holiday Inn express made us very comfortable, especially for a dog with high anxiety.

Staff told my wife the hotel was full and would not honor our Expedia reservation. They later denied this and refused my refund. All this from Expedia even though I used them to get her another room just down the road 10 minutes later. Very disappointed long term customer of both.

The breakfast was amazing. The room we stayed in had mold on the ceiling and we were told there was a couch/chase lounge in the room. There was not we booked the room for 5 people (3 teenage boys) and two parents. We ended up with a roll away bed because there was not a couch or chase lounge in the room. The room was also not big enough for a roll away bed so it was in the entry way of the room. We made it work and overall our stay was fine.
