Room was Excessively Humid

Third stay at this property in the prior five months. First two stays were slightly above average and acceptable. This stay, though, will be our last at this property. When entering the room, it was extremely humid while cool. There was even a dehumidifier in the hallway just outside our door...we should have unplugged it and moved it into our room. The carpet was moist, resulting in our socks having to be thrown away due to the stains when first walking around the room...then we wore our shoes. The sheets were even slightly moist. Was told no other rooms available and no offer to adjust our rate was provided because we had pre-paid for two nights. Other issues include floor in bathroom very poor and would sink a good 1/2 inch with entering. Sink stopper broken, carpet snagged, and foot bench in front of couch was in terrible condition. Ultimately, we left after one night, forfeited our second night's payment (pre-paid). Additionally, the pool has been closed for cleaning or maintenance during all three stays. This stay, though, I had to initial a form notifying me that the pool was closed. The one positive thing with this trip along with the prior two was the breakfast. Although this isn't enough to salvage our business. This property is not a good example of most Holiday Inn Express locations.

Would not recommend staying here. While some of the property has been updated, other parts haven't and were dirty and the rooms/building did not have a pleasant smell. Carpets in the hallways, especially the third floor were really bad.

Place is in rough shape

Staff was very nice. However, this location seems to be in very poor condition. Everything made of metal was rusty. The air conditioner in the room barely worked poorly and the room smelled moldy. The hotel pool and gym were not available for use (we had to sign a waiver?! they didn't tell us about these facilities being out until we arrived). None of the ice machines worked except on one floor. That said, the staff were friendly and seemed to do their best to keep the facility clean to the best of their ability.

First woman who greeted us at 2:10 pm was abrupt. Said she could not let us “on the floor” while housekeeping were still there.” Had to unlock lobby restrooms for our use. Upon our return to check in (after 3 pm), room 210 smelled badly of mustiness, and furniture was torn and very worn. Breakfast staff served wearing a bathrobe, and pool was closed “for daily cleaning” the entire 3 days we were there.
Furniture in room.

We were disappointed in our stay at this hotel. We have fairly regularly stayed at Holiday Inn Express Hotels and have had good experiences. The hotel was not that busy and we were given a room that was right by the elevator and the loud ice machine was right outside our door. The room was humid and the elevator was very shabby. It did not seem at all like a hotel that would charge $180 per night. The staff was helpful and friendly but this hotel needs some upgrading. Seemed like an old hotel that Holiday Inn purchased and put their sign out front.

The light as you come into the room didn’t work, the curtain was shredded, and the pillow smelled like an old man. 2Am someone was outside in the hall filling up a cooler with ice. The bed was comfortable.

I like the hotel and it's amenities. It's a shock to me that bathroom doors never locked and its a hotel policy acroos all rooms. Definitely have to rethink if you are staying with others to avoid some awkward moments

Not so great

It's right off the highway, so the traffic noise is louder than I'd prefer. It's run down looking, bed is pretty hard and the carpets could use a good cleaning. They're pretty gross. I can only hope the sheets and towels have been changed. If I come back through here, I'll find somewhere else to stay.

The ladies at front desk at check in were so friendly and very helpful. They offered us complimentary cookies and recommended an excellent restaurant for supper,which didnt disappoint. If Holiday Inn could bottle the skill ser of the staff here in Sweetwater Tennessee, it would benefit the whole organization. Keep up the great work👍👏👏
