Shower bench in handicap bathroom broke while my husband was getting out of shower. No room service. Told front desk I was informed only 1 maid on duty. Just excuses. Room filthy, mold around base of shower, cobwebs in corners. Drapes absolutely filthy, deteriorating. Had to ask for clean towels. Will not return. This particular locale is not up to or even close to what is advertised. Didn’t even stay the full time we had reserved.

This was a horrible hotel. Pool and hot tub out of order, breakfast was disgusting, our room AC/heater was broke. No compensation for anything - just a “ sorry”

Pool and spa were down which is why we all picked this hotel and paid more than we would have next door with just a pool and no spa but they work! They have no date for it to be up and running! Bathroom door didn’t lock. No shampoo or conditioner in the bathroom.

Well the room was fine but not thoroughly cleaned under the bed. Exercise room had broken machines and no garbage can to throw away tissues. Pool and hot tub were not open which we were not notified. That and pet friendly were the reasons we booked here.

The two young ladies at the front desk were great when it came to my complaints about the DIRTY LINEN ON THE BED , DIRTY TOLIET, DIRTY coffee maker, DIRTY floor, SMELLY TOWELS. SMELLY ROOM. They checked the room out for themselves and agreed to send me to another room. Also I scheduled and paid for in advance for a king suite with king bed. Upon arrival I was scheduled for a regular room with a queen bed. I won’t go there ever again.

Never again
We got there at 4 to check in( check in is 3) and was told room wasn’t ready. We asked how long and they weren’t sure also had no other suites available. Front desk clerk says let me go help her clean it. She comes back 5 minutes later and says it’s clean. We go to room and it is definitely not clean. We deal with because we had to get to football game. Then next morning kids want cereal but they have no milk. Fine we go to shower after swimming and have no water. Can’t shower or flush toilet. Go to front desk to be told it the whole building, nothing they can do we should just check out early. Will never go back

Thank you for your feedback. I am sorry we fell short of our expected standards.The delay in having your room ready at 3pm was due to several late check outs and a shortage of Housekeeping staff. The Water issue was caused by a construction company fracturing the mains water pipe outside the property.

Disappointing for amount of money
Hotel needs some repairs and a lot of minor issues—our top floor room had a slope/lean to it. The bathroom tile had a lot of cracks. One of the table lights did not work. The carpets were stained. The shampoo dispenser was empty and missing a trash can in main area. Dead spiders were on the walls. The main entry door had to be slammed to properly shut. Drain plugs in bathroom missing.Breakfast was ok but trash cans overflowing.

Unfortunately the reservation was never submitted into our system. It had not been cancelled as our system would show that. As we were sold out, I was trying to resolve the issue by calling other hotels to find a room for the guests. I had to call from the office as one gentleman was being extremly loud in the lobby. I did manage to find an alterantive accomodation for the guests but when I came back into the lobby the guests had left.

Worst Holiday Inn Express I've stayed
Arriving for check in at 4pm, the room was yet to be cleaned and unavailable. I reduced the room size for availability. After entering room the carpets were severely stained, dirty towels left in bathroom, the shower pressure was low. After check out I noticed I was charged three separate times for one night stay, plus a fourth $10 holding fee. Only to be told it will come off in a few days. Derek, the manager will not take my call after multiple attempts. I will NEVER go back here!

Decent hotel.
Very middle of the road hotel. Not fancy but not terrible. Safe area with two large gas stations within walking distance. They had free cookies at check in which the kids appreciated. Pool was fairly warm. Hot tub was closed.. which is what I was looking forward to. Room was large. Beds were comfortable. Water pressure in the shower wasn’t very good and the tub felt slick, like it hadn’t been rinsed out properly. Appeared to be some mold on the shower curtain. Otherwise the room was clean. Breakfast was adequate and the food was hot.
