Room was humid and smelled like dirty feet when we arrived. And one of the most subpar free hotel breakfast as we’ve ever had. Chose this over the Hampton because it seemed nicer in pictures but pretty sure I made the wrong decision.

We went up to Lake Wales for a long weekend, looking to relocate to the area. The Holiday Inn Express was a great place to stay.

We are a family of 4, and we stayed here for 1 week. The staff here get an A++ from us. They were very kind, friendly and willing to help in any way. There was always a smile and a wish for a good day or inquiry as to how you and your day were each time we came and went. The hotel was very clean everywhere we went. Breakfast was good, and there was coffee and cocoa available at all times. There is all the shopping you may need within walking distance. We did however have an issue or 2 that were enough to make us personally look elsewhere for our next visit, we had to move rooms within the first hour of arrival due to the toilet not functioning. The second day we had to have someone come up to the new room and fix the toilet as that one stopped working (all done very quickly and kindly). The pool could use some tlc for sure. It was tinged green on the bottom and sides in places and some of the brickwork was in need of repair. While it wasn’t overly bad, we couldn’t even skim the pool ourselves because the skimmer was ripped/rotted so badly it had no netting to speak of. If you don’t fancy having a pool and maybe the toilets were just bad timing and a fluke, the rest of the hotel was clean, friendly and comfortable.

Upon booking I anticipated a room deposit which was added into the trips budget. Upon arrival I was greeted promptly and checked in ok. Then there the deposit i mentioned i was a little taken a back by how high the amount is for my daughter and I. What could we possibly do to destroy your property? The deposit is $50 at every other Holiday Inn express in Florida basically. So i with no hesitation agreed to pay that crazy amount and simply asked for a receipt. That's when your front desk clearks, came at me so aggressively and treated me like I'm under privileged to have a proff of purchase for the$75 charge deducted from my checking account. I'm still in awe/ shock how ill mannered the two men were and still can't provide me with a receipt or an explanation for why i can't have a receipt. I felt like they were going to kick out my 11 year old daughter and I surrounded to the stupidity. I'm incredibly disappointed with this situation and still don't understand why they acted so mean and aggressively towards us.

Comfortable beds. Staff was very nice. Floor outside of the elevator was dirty with mulltiple stains. Breakfast was served on foam plates which made breakfast expieroence even worse. Scrambled eggs had a textue of fine crumbs. Hotel looks old and beat up. Night before we stayed in a hotel in similar price range and that hotel was amazing comparing to this one.
