Typical of the Holiday Inn Express’s I ve stayed at, room was clean. Bed was comfortable. Only drawback for me was no shampoo. All that was there was a small bar of soap. All the others stays either had small travel size bottle or the dispensers in the shower for body wash, shampoo and conditioner. Drains in the bathtub and sink were slow and never did get hot water from the sink faucet. Shower hot water was great! Would stay again but bring my own shower amenities.

Staff👍 Property is in need of renovations! Bathroom was the worst!! For a handicap room it should have been in top condition. Shower head wouldn’t stay in place, toilet paper holder feel off the wall. Water drained slow, no fan to limit steam during shower. Enough said.

The staff was very friendly and helpful, the public areas nicer than the more dated hallways and rooms. Was annoyed that the Expedia rate was $10 more per night than the hotel rate.

We stayed here for graduation weekend and I was very happy with the hotel and the service we received. I appreciated that the hotel did not require a 3 night minimum and didn't gouge the prices like many other hotels in the area. The service was very friendly. And a special shout out to the women that ran the breakfast buffet, they exemplified custoer relations - wonderful employees!

Disappointed in my stay. Manager reached out 2 days in and asked how things were going….I responded, he said how can we improve, I responded…he did not. Stayed 4 nights and housekeeping did not come once, even after requested. Floors in lobby and hallways were very dirty and had not been cleaned over the 5 days I was there. My room was dirty and the air unit did not function properly. The shower was only a trickle of water and the fixtures were coming off the wall. Overall, unimpressed by this property.
