Everything was great

The rooms were clean. Towels and everything were dragonfly themed. Bed and pillows were comfortable. I could tell the remodel was donewith a budget crew - paneling was warped and coming off the wall & a piece of the vinyl floor was being held down with tape instead of properly repaired. Lots of paint slopped all over the property. Some leaks apparent because wall paint in halls was bubbled off of drywall. Other than construction workers staying there tracking in mud, it was clean. Breakfast was a HUGE letdown. Any review that says it was great has to be fictitious. There were some dry, week old Walmart donuts, a bowl of bananas that were almost black, waffles that tasted "tangy" like the batter was bad (threw it out), cold syrup, cerial, and bagels with cream cheese that was in a community container! Talk about potential germs! The coffee was hot but had almost zero flavor. The hotel was clean and OK but the breakfast was HORRIBLE. It was a major disappointment. We had to grab a breakfast sandwhich at McDonalds because the selections were so bad. There were also about a dozen video gambling machines in the small lobby that crowded the "breakfast" area. It just gave the place a cheap look with these in that area and people sitting around playing them. With a few changes it could be much better but for the price, go somewhere else so you can at least get a decent breakfast included that doent serve black bananas and old waffle dough. It was nasty!

The Holiday Inn Express in Hastings was an excellent stay!

Very clean and accommodating.

Room was amazingly clean when we got there. Every single staff member was kind and polite. Made both checking in and out a smooth process. Thought was definitely put in to the layout of the room, and the blue lights were so fun! Great physical location as well that's close by to all the stores, resturants, goverment buildings, and movie theather.
