When we walked into this hotel it smelled like cigarette smoke, old, moldy. The rugs were dirty and there were all kinds of stains on our floor. We always choose Holiday Inn Express because of its high quality and cleanliness. I was very disappointed .

The hotel was nice and staff was amazing. Breakfast was good and there was a restaurant/bar right next door. It was a quiet hotel didn’t hear kids running everywhere even though it was a full hotel full of families. The only reason the cleanliness was lower on the ratings was the pool was filthy. There was a film of white/clear stuff, hair and bugs floating on the top of the water.
