I stayed here on points about three months ago. I later noticed an unexpected charge on my credit card from this location. I called and they confirmed the error and issued a refund, promising points for the inconvenience. Now a few months later with a similar issue at a different HI Express, I am thoroughly reviewing my stay records and points transactions and I see that this location failed to follow up and issue the points they stated would be compensation for having to call for a refund. Given that this has happened at two locations in a three month period, I am wondering if this is really general incompetence or a new type of scam. I suggest checking your receipt as you leave (most will no longer slide under the door).

Absolutely the best Holiday Inn experience ever! Front desk staff was 100% with service and recommendations for local dining. Rooms were exceptionally clean and well appointed. Awesome property.

We had a very good stay. The rooms and bathrooms were clean, comfortable, and pleasant. Breakfast was good and had everything we needed to start the day.
The hotel is located at the entrance to the city, so there isn’t much to do within walking distance and you need to drive to most places. But after a long journey from JFK, the location was perfect for us - quiet, convenient, and easy to reach.
Overall, we really enjoyed our stay and would happily return.

Smoking marijuana in the lobby, smells the same on the floors, rooms are filthy, bathrooms are gross, appliances are broken and overall this place is nasty.

The only issue I have is the shower. The back, on the floor needs attention. And as a partially handicapped person, grab bars would be great!
