Pillows had a nasty sour smell that only reveals itself once you've been laid down for 20 minutes and they warm up. Carpet was nasty and about 50% of the holes in the shower head were clogged. I let the front desk know on the way out, didn't seem to care . No way this hotel meets regular IHG standards.

Older hotel that functions but has issues. It was a challenge every time I tried to open the door to my room because the handle was damaged. The room smelled musty. They charged me an unexpected "accommodation fee" for $25 bucks that wasn't listed in the website. The location is the only good thing, I would not return.

I want to give a huge THANK YOU to ERICA for helping us with our check-in process! We had issues booking through a third party but Erica was super helpful and patient with us. We will definitely be coming back. Thank you Holiday Inn Express and thank you ERICA! All of the employees we met were extremely sweet. ~Bailee Harrell
