I was not impressed with this place even just at arrival they didnt have someone at the front desk and said please be seated someone will be with you shortly. When i finally got in the room they gave me it was dirty musky smell in the room and the bed sheets had some stains. Asked for a different room and they gave me something else but still hardly any difference in the room. Decided to cancel my stay and choose somewhere else the reviews may look promising on here but they are aful about cleaning this place.

Hotel itself was ok, but listed as having a laundry area and it did not and was one the reasons I picked the hotel along with free breakfast. We do travel ball and needed to wash uniforms and then the last day we left at 7 and still no breakfast when it was suppose to be open at 630. The drain in the bathroom sink was stuck

Zero communication. Had to cancel 2 rooms b/c airplane brokedown. Was told I could get a refund for 2nd night (1st night no b/c they need 24 hours, which I understood). They said their system was down. I get home, not only did they not refund, they have a mystery charge on my credit card (paid thru Expedia) and they don't answer their phones. Now I have to fight and dispute. This deception is unacceptable. Will never stay at Holiday Inn again.

DECLINING: We stay almost exclusively at Holiday Inn Express locations, because they are almost new and in good areas. This is the first we've noticed to be in decline -- flooring, plaster, temperature, TV reception, staffing....
