everything here was great including the breakfast, the highway turns does make it a bit hard to get into as you have to pass it up and turn around somewhere.

4/10

The property itself is nice and clean. The poor rating is because I called the front desk twice due to many, unsupervised kids running through the hotel, between floors and jumping and rough-housing in the room above mine, significantly disrupting our sleep and peaceful enjoyment of our stay. Management didn’t even offer a discount for my inconvenience and their inability or unwillingness to enforce the rules.

It was. Convenient to our meeting location, The room was clean.

The bathroom in the first from I was given was filthy. The bathroom in the second room I was given was dirty as well. I felt disgusting just being there. Had I stayed I wouldn’t have been able to shower with the tubs being dirty. That was not an option since I was on a work trip. They refused to provide a refund and lied to Expedia about my stay. I usually never stay at any Holiday Inn Express because they’re energetic clean enough. This time was no different. I attempted to speak with the manager but the woman who checked me in and out didn’t give me the option to.
Stayed 2 nights in May 2025

2/10

When I checked they gave me a room that was already occupied. I opened the door and there was someone in the room. The manager seemed to think that was humorous. It could have been disastrous. The room is dingy and dirty. The phone was not working. The towel rack in the bathroom fell off when I reached for the towel. I would never stay here again and would hesitate to book through Expedia again.
