The Hotel room we stayed in was clean and well maintained. The staff is friendly and helpful, room is comfortable and big enough with full size refrigerator. Despite the construction going on it was not noisy. I will like to stay here again when next I visit the area.

So being a super old hotel possibly older than I am it has potential, and being remodeled but that being said the room I was in was brand new and a nice change from the norm of all the HIE and candle woods I frequent.

It’s a Holiday Inn express so it’s gonna be consistent in terms of the rooms and the cleanliness.
But the staff is always the tricky one.
Imagine showing up at midnight. Tired. Needing your room and sleep before your meetings and the doors locked, no staff at the desk. No one answering the phone. And then there was his lack of English and his attitude.
Made for a great introduction. Then the building. The place is ripped apart right now for renovations. So no gym, no pool, and the hallways look like a war zone.
Changing my next reservation I already had liked up for here.
