- MVMark VassarDec 23, 20255.0Nice
- PPPickleDec 6, 20252.0The room was okay, but half the channels on TV 224 didn't work. I couldn't use your Netflix or YouTube features because there was no internet. I tried connecting to my internet, but it wouldn't pair up. Beds was good tho.
- SMStacey MooreNov 22, 20252.0I can hear everything the neighbors do, watch, say. Huge debacle over a legit service animal (I contacted corporate already). Shower doesn’t provide anywhere to place your stuff. For being newly renovated, it’s falling apart. Bed wasn’t overly comfortable. Old mattresses were much better. For a place that apparently offers pets to stay- I haven’t seen a place for them to potty. Shower was hot, nice pressure. Layout was nice. Coffee machine and breakfast was decent. Location is outstanding. Friday mornings agent was very welcoming and friendly otherwise they have all been anything but. I say hi or good afternoon and either get a blank stare or ignored. I will not make a third stay at this location.
- JBJeff BurkholderNov 3, 20254.0Breakfast was great, biscuits and gravy are hard to screw up tho
- PLPreston LumanOct 31, 20255.0I have stayed at a lot of Holiday Inn Express across the country. This on was very nice. It seemed like it had been recently remodeled. It is in a very very busy shopping area making it a convenient location.
