We had a great overnight stay this weekend! We checked in at almost 11pm, but were greeted immediately when we walked in. The woman who checked us in was so sweet and friendly! I was apprehensive because of the mixed reviews, but the hotel was recently updated and it's so nice! Everything was modern, clean, and fresh! The room was perfect. No issues with getting a good temperature like in some hotels. Super comfortable beds and big pillows. Even a mini Keurig coffee maker with coffee & tea pods! Dove products in the bathroom (shampoo/conditioner, body wash, hand soap, and body lotion). I loved that they had an actual hand soap pump instead of the little bar of wrapped soap. We were out early for a tournament, and my kids appreciated the continental breakfast. Great variety of hot foods that actually tasted fresh(bacon, sausage, eggs, veggie omelets, cinnamon rolls), along with the automated pancake machine. There was also the standard bagels, muffins, cereal, oatmeal, etc. My favorite was the fresh coffee out of the automated machine. The morning staff was super friendly as well. They all wished the girls good luck at their tournament and told us to have a great day. We're on that side of the state frequently for tournaments, and the kids already requested that we book again for the next one! Having the Meijer right there was also nice so we could grab anything we needed. Highly recommend!

Owner is so weird. Staff are uptight and don’t seem to show any humanity. It would be ok if the rooms made up for it. They did not. We had a 5 day stay planned - we left after one night

Room was clean, but the tvs in the room didn't work, the phone to front desk didn't work nor the exhaust in the bathroom. Front desk said they juat remodeled and was aware the tvs had issues in that room. Oh, I've never seen such a short toilet in my life. Not sure how they expect an adult person to use it, especially a taller person. No grab bars to assist either. As we had a King size room suite, I wouldn't expect small children in the room, so not sure why the toilet had to be so short.

This Holiday inn Express is up to par. After reading some of the reviews on here, I was thinking to myself some people are really petty. Across the United States hotels are probably one of the most "under repaired" necessary things travelers need. So it goes without saying it depends on who the owner/s are and how much traffic and revenue they desire.
I'm really happy to say that this place has made some improvements over the years and that's essential to a good business!
I've stayed here a few different times and had mixed feelings about it each time. But at the same time I have seen improvements each time. This is 100% a sign of a "good" owner! And as far as the breakfast goes it's hands down the best in this town. You're not going to find another breakfast in a hotel as good as this one. They definitely want you to leave feeling good and not hungry! So 5 out of five! And keep up the good work! If I had one suggestion it would be to respond to each and every review whether it's good or bad. But thanks for the good night's sleep and the great breakfast! I'll be back 😁
