Tired property
It wasn't what I was expecting from a HI Express. From the moment I parked I notice the grass area was not mowed or area maintained. Even the elevator doors were dirty as well as every hotel room door which had huge black scratches. The room bed was clean but the bathroom had mold in the tube and the wall behind the trash was splattered with food. Simple maintenance would have changed the whole look to this property.

Holiday Inn Express is better than this.
I've stayed at a lot of HEI hotels, and our experiences have always been great. So when traveling to KC for a few days this was the logical pick. Staff was very friendly and helpful. However, it is very run down and in rough shape. Lawn is overgrown and full of weeds, a number of places need paint, etc. When tyring to use the shower, the drain was clogged. Maintenance got it better, but still not great. Went to use the gym, to find it only consists of a treadmill and an eliptical. The treadmill was broken, and the person on the eliptical said they would be off soon. When done he went to get a sanitizing wipe, but that was not operational as well. I gave up on the gym. We went to a basemeball game and decided to take a shower about 10 pm. There was no hot water??? Our friends in another room noted the same experience. Overall the mgmt. does not seem too concerned with upkeep. A disappointing experience.

This was the most disgusting hotel i have ever stayed in. Everything is run down (doors, walls, bathtub, pool, carpet) the hallways have a horrible smell, and all of the bedding is damp. Even the room we were "upgraded" to was filthy. The only nice thing i have to say is their staff was friendly. I would sleep in my car before spending another dollar on this hotel.

The location was great, less than 10 minutes to Arrowhead. The important part of the room seemed clean i.e. the beds and bathroom. The walls were majorly scuffed up (perhaps a darker color around the trim and lower half of walls), the carpet in the room was in pretty awful shape, and the a/c was leaking water on the carpet. The outside of the hotel appeared to be abandoned, overgrown weeds and a dead tree. The cherry on top was the fire alarm going off at 5:30am, which I understand happens but I can't help believe it might have been a maintenance issue.

Small queen beds
Holiday In Express always offers nice rooms and friendly service. We reserved a room with 2 queen beds, i believe they were full size beds and not queen, so not as comfortable for 2 people.
