Check-in took additional time as the front desk wasn't fully staffed. Once in my room, the bathtub faucet was 2 inches away from the wall. The tub and shower worked, but it was a nuisance. Daily towel service didn't take place until after 3:00 p.m. The other room in our group had a non-working outlet near the coffee maker. The bed was comfortable, and the breakfast was spot on for a Holiday Inn Express.

booked the room weeks in advance, paid for the stay over 24 hrs in advance... i show up on the night i requested and the front desk informed me that they gave my prepaid room already away, they also did this to 3 other guests in the lobby waiting on their room to. so as im waiting the front desk comes up to us and asks if we wouldn't mind sharing a room with someone else, i have never heard this before, very unprofessional and unethical experience. i do not recommend

There was a centipede crawling on the wall i had to smash. Our coffee Machine in the room didn't work, I had to hold the lid down with both hands to get it to brew. The breakfast was pretty good though with a vegie omelet option . No hottub. And there is ALWAYS issues when booking through a third party carrier . Always,,even when they said it was taken care of... nope, never trust it
