Mold/mildew on walls/ceiling in bathroom and in bedroom. Everything was damp and mildewy smelling. We both woke up feeling the effects from sleeping in these conditions. Tub wouldn't drain as we showered. Very disgusted that the IHG brand would find this acceptable. Its what i would expect for a $60/nt room (have stayed in that) and just the night before we paid the same amt at another IHG Holiday Inn Express near Knoxville that was fabulous!! Too disgusted to eat breakfast there so no reviews on the food or breakfast area.

I like the hotel and it's amenities. It's a shock to me that bathroom doors never locked and its a hotel policy acroos all rooms. Definitely have to rethink if you are staying with others to avoid some awkward moments

Would not recommend staying here. While some of the property has been updated, other parts haven't and were dirty and the rooms/building did not have a pleasant smell. Carpets in the hallways, especially the third floor were really bad.

The hotel was undergoing exterior painting which is a good thing, but it added another layer of grittiness to an already dated and grungy hotel. Our room was extremely humid which made the sheets feel damp and gave the room a dank smell. It even caused a wall lamp to get rusty. The furnishings were very worn. The bathroom sink faucet was water stained and there was a long black hair on the countertop—all of us have short grey hair. As soon as we woke up, we just wanted to get out of there so we skip breakfast so we cannot give a review of that. Overall it was disappointing!

The light as you come into the room didn’t work, the curtain was shredded, and the pillow smelled like an old man. 2Am someone was outside in the hall filling up a cooler with ice. The bed was comfortable.

Great stay!

We only stayed one night on our way to FL. We had 4 rooms. We needed a crib and they got one for us right away. Staff was very friendly and breakfast was great! MAKE SURE TO TIP THE COOKING STAFF!!! We will be back there next weekend!

The ladies at front desk at check in were so friendly and very helpful. They offered us complimentary cookies and recommended an excellent restaurant for supper,which didnt disappoint. If Holiday Inn could bottle the skill ser of the staff here in Sweetwater Tennessee, it would benefit the whole organization. Keep up the great work👍👏👏

Passing through

We normally stay at this hotel on our way back from Florida. The staff was friendly and the room was spacious. There is a variety of places to eat/door-dash. And I love they provided a list of restaurants. Need to work on make sure the room phone works and put anti-slip in the tubs.

First woman who greeted us at 2:10 pm was abrupt. Said she could not let us “on the floor” while housekeeping were still there.” Had to unlock lobby restrooms for our use. Upon our return to check in (after 3 pm), room 210 smelled badly of mustiness, and furniture was torn and very worn. Breakfast staff served wearing a bathrobe, and pool was closed “for daily cleaning” the entire 3 days we were there.

We were disappointed in our stay at this hotel. We have fairly regularly stayed at Holiday Inn Express Hotels and have had good experiences. The hotel was not that busy and we were given a room that was right by the elevator and the loud ice machine was right outside our door. The room was humid and the elevator was very shabby. It did not seem at all like a hotel that would charge $180 per night. The staff was helpful and friendly but this hotel needs some upgrading. Seemed like an old hotel that Holiday Inn purchased and put their sign out front.
